A little excitement while paddling at sunset

Trip dates:

Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
SUP

Took the paddle board out off South Causeway Beach.  Beautiful sunset but got a little interesting as I was returning to shore.  Disturbed a shark who was laying in the underwater grasses and he hit the side of the board as he headed out to deeper water.  So after years of paddling I can now say I was knocked off my paddle board by a shark.  Will be a bit more cautious - especially at sunset.  77F, partly cloudy, wind at 11 mph from ESE at time of launch (6:05pm)
