re: School of large hammer head sharks on Crab Island.

We have a ton of baby stingrays here off the coast of Huntington beach in the hotter months. People line up to stick their foot in 5 gallon buckets full of hot water at the lifeguard stations after getting popped.

I stepped on one during the winter when I was surfing but I had booties on. That's as close as I've come to being stung.
