I think the shark wrestled it's way away from the Kiwi because the Kiwi mistook the shark for a shaved sheep. Ooooooooohhh.

"Duffy said sharks responded to highly contrasting colours. Mr Hobson's surfboard was brightly coloured."

oh lawdy, parents always used to buy me brightly coloured wetsuits so i didnt have the same type skin as seals or other shark bait

That poor shark. It comes up to this guy like a friendly puppy and he rejects it, then jumps on it. What a bastard!

"It wasn't like Jaws coming at me viciously. It came up and nudged me on the thigh while I was sitting on my board. It gave me a shock but I pushed it away with my hand, then it cruised around in front of me and gave me another nudge on the other leg," he told The Nelson Mail.

"I was then trying to keep the board between me and the shark - I was probably screaming by then - there was another guy close to me. Then the shark nudged me off my board and leapt on top of it and was thrashing about."
