I think this might be more due to the annual mullet run

Rest easy mate

Just saw this in the news. Had to check Breeze to make sure it wasn't a member.

I had a whale pop up less than 5m behind me at Burleigh on Friday. Got to say, outside of scaring the sheet outta me, I certainly spent the rest of my time in the water concerned about what else might be around.

Condolences to the surfer, his family and friends, and the witnesses and ambos.

Tragic news, rest easy.
Kudos to his mate & the other surfer to chase the shark off & get him out of the water.

SP, that link goes to a subscription only page!
Is it blaming cage diving for the shark taking the kid off the boat?

Thanks, it raises some interesting issues
It might be similar to rouge crocs up north that get too familiar with people except the GW is not territorial like crocs or at least covers a ****te load more area.
Either way I hope the poor bugger recovers well

Yeah looks to be a local real estate agent from around Mermaid.
There was surf cam footage of the attack on Stab's IG (which thankfully they've since taken down), horrific stuff. That shark was not f*****g around.

R.I.P. Ol' mate.

Hey Macaha,
I don't think they've confirmed the man's profession but they have named him.
