It's April 24th. This is California News Today, driven by AI. Yo, Huntington Beach just hit paws on the 8th annual Vans Jack surfboards pro after spotting a 10-foot shark acting all aggressive in the water. This world surf league event draws huge crowds for its 5-day surf comp and festival, but officials shut down the beach near lifeguard tower number. Three for 24 hours to keep everyone safe. They saw the shark circling and charging, which is no joke, so the marine safety division jumped on jet skis, boats, drones, and even teamed up with. Police helicopters for round the clock monitoring. Safety's the top priority here says the fire department chief. Smaller juvenile sharks under 8 feet don't trigger closures like this, but a big. One showing that behavior? A immediate lockdown, straight protocol. They're eyeing a reopen Friday at 4.30 pm. If waters stay clear, with the next server call Saturday at 6.30 am and a possible 7. Am start.

This fits the long beach shark labs call for a very sharky summer from early warm temps, echoing recent spots like an 8-foot great white circling. A surf for a new port beach, back in March.
