For the next 6 weeks (m-f) we will be blogging about the 5 LARGEST in the sea, the 5 most dangerous in the sea & last but not least.....Clint's favorite & neatest of the sea. We will be relating each sea creature back to 1 of the top 44 WCT pro surfers & the women's top 16. If you are able to guess the correct answer/surfer before the blog the next day we will offer up 1 question of your choice to be answered by us via email: pit88challenge@hotmail.com . More on the PIT 88 Challenge and its rules can be found at: PIT88 . If someone does not win the 1st challenge of 88 and a FREE NEW Surfboard by the end of this 6 weeks then we will for sure be asking Mr. Forest Gump how he clicks around the site and what would make it easier.
Now for today's featured creature of the sea: The Whale Shark, AKA: The Biggest of the Sea. It is a feeding shark and is the largest living fish species. It can grow up to 40 ft in length and can weigh up to 15 short tons. This distinctively-marked shark (white spots) is the only member of its family, Rhincodontidae. True story: I was in a 16 ft boat 10 years ago 3 miles offshore when one of these mammoths came just below the boat. I thought the bottom of the ocean just rose up.....They say it's rare to see one but I plan on seeing a 2ND one in the Atlanta Aquarium next week on the way to my family reunion.
