This is horrible. And, yes, I am totally freaked out. I swim in this area all the time as do my kids.

It's very rare and tragic.
Prayers go out to this poor man and his family.
Apparently there have been some stray seal pups coming ashore in the recent weeks (a primary food source).
Large great white sharks rarely come into the beach break, and prefer deeper colder waters.
We have them in the Atlantic off of Montauk Point.
And surfing alone, way off shore is always unnerving.
