Also, a jumping manta ray (400 pounds plus) can be a real killer, literally.

Let me look up the stats. I once had an airborne ray hit my center console of the boat in the keys. It ripped the grab rail and ferring right off the boat. Yikes....

That is not a matter to make fun of!
a eagle ray 100+ pounds once jumped way out of the water straight at me @ Virginia Key, something musta' startled it. Anyways, luckily I was windsuffering and and he bonked himself in the head right between the eyes with my mast. Plop! landed flat on the deck of my board, knocked me off, and flapped around a few seconds B4 rolling off. That was quite a shock for both of us!
