Today on the Quivercast, we sit down with Cole Tashy—a fishing captain, former pro surfer, and two-time shark bite survivor from Florida. Cole shares the gripping story of his encounter with a shark while surfing, a day marked by tragedy as he mourned the loss of a friend. Seeking a quiet moment, he paddled down the beach to reflect, only to feel a sudden, terrifying bite on both feet. Through this harrowing experience, Cole has kept his deep connection to the ocean and his hometown, where he is a familiar face at Bathtub Reef. Though he’s surfed there for years, he warns others against visiting, citing the intense localism and limited parking at the break.


Cole’s surf journey includes a brief stint in California, where he pursued the QS in his early 20s. Despite his love for California’s waves and surf culture, the high cost of living eventually brought him back home to Florida. Today, Cole is a dedicated fishing boat captain in Stuart, Florida, sharing his passion for the sea in a new way. Tune in as we dive into his unique life, from overcoming shark bites to navigating the surf scene on both coasts and hear his insights on the lifestyle that keeps him tied to the water.
