I would have given it a good "nudge" back with my paddle, right on the nose

Please 1m? That's not a shark, that sounds like dinner!

Just another encounter to add to the media frenzy, at this stage by christmas a bit of seaweed touching someones leg will be considered a potential shark sighting!

similar to the Hawiian wave measurement system which may cause confusion, as a 3 foot wave is triple head high.

the shark was 1 meter west australian.

(in western australia sharks are measured by their dorsal fin, not their length).

I caught a 1m shark last week whilst fishing - threw it back (too small!)

Now if it was 1m wide...that would be a different story!
