Yes the Aussie dude is right.

I never pee in my wetsuit and I've never even seen a Great White! Proof's
in the pudding!

I wonder if you have a greater chance dying from a bladder infection induced
by holding "it" too long or a shark attack. Something to ponder.

Shark season follows the elephant seal season. If you look at a history of
shark attacks on our coast to divers, surfers, etc. it seems that most
attacks happen September to March. The surfing museum at Steamer Lane in
Santa Cruz has a big CA shark attack history board, and from that the
"season" is pretty evident. I think at one time there was an internet site
that listed CA and OR shark attack histories - and you could get a pretty
good feel for the "season".

On the prevention side, I saw something on TV a year or so ago about an
Australian researcher who firmly believed peeing (w/ and w/o wetsuit)
correlated to shark attacks. His theory was that sharks track mammal urine
just like they track for blood. Based on that, I don't pee in my
surfing/coastal sailing wetsuit.
