Orewa beachgoers not fazed by shark sightings
Swimmers, kayakers, surfers and paddle boarders are unfazed by multiple shark sightings at Orewa beach recently.
On Saturday morning, about 30 people were in the water, with plenty more arriving for the day.
Paddleboarder Karl Gaensicke, who visits the beach two to three times a week, often saw juvenile sharks, wasn't put off by the sharks given most were juvenile, and said they were likely "more scared of us than we are them".
However, he believed Surf Life Savers made the right call to evacuate the water after the sightings, and said he would probably do the same if he saw a big shark.
