quicko: the shalphin

So I missed the actual event, but as soon as I walked into the Christian surfers I was greeted with a rousing "KIMMY!" followed by a very loud, rapid discussion concerning The Shark. Since they were all talking at once it was a bit difficult to piece together exactly what happened, but it seems that someone saw something that looked like fins and someone screamed and lots of someones swam and they all paddled in as fast their little surf fins would carry them, except one who was left behind wondering where everyone was. Everyone made it safely back and no one seemed to have actually seen anything conclusive. Descriptions of the creature ranged ("it was clearly a dolphin" -- "yeah, so why were you paddling so fast then?"), and in the end a compromise was reached by referring to it as the shalphin.
