ObPedantic:  Sharks generally do not eat people.  However, they have 
poor vision.  When they see a surfboarder in an attractive black wet 
suit, they think "seal".  Seals have a thick layer of fat under their 
black skin, which keeps them warm, as mammals like to do.  In addition, 
they hang out near the surface, like surfboarders, as both breath air.  
Sharks like to take a big bite on the seal, and then retreat so the seal 
can't fight back.  Once the seal has weakened sufficiently from the 
bite, the shark can finish their meal at their leisure.  Even though 
sharks don't see well, they have an excellent sense of taste.  As soon 
as they bite a surfboarder, they discover that there is no thick fat 
layer, and the "skin" tastes like rubber.

So, there are shark bites, but many people live through them because the 
shark just isn't interested in eating some scrawny human with rubber 
skin.
