That would put you off surfing. Go to Cobras link. SMH has 7 mins of footage if it is the same page I googled.

I had someone close to me die in a shark attack years ago and it still plays with my head. That's the sort of thing that changes a man. I can't believe the nobhead reporter jumps in for the interview. A little empathy and compassion wouldn't go astray.

Dam freaky watching it live. The commentators seemed to almost miss it. I would have been ****ting myself. He seemed so calm and collected amongst it all.

It was interesting to hear Martin Potter say that he did the correct thing and left his board as that was what the shark was after. I did know thats what you should do it that situation.

So glad he is ok. I am would have been on the boat off the jet ski immediately. Must have been pretty scary for Peter Mel and Julian who were also in the water. Heavy

I guess J-Bay tourism just took a big dive.

Someone is miraculously saved, the emergency guys get there within 30 seconds (yep watch the vid) Julian remains safe and some dickhead gives a Red THUMBS because people are discussing it and are happy one of our Aussies is safe.

GO AWAY.

That beast looked up to 4m long too... Very scary...





I'm thinking at least 2.5-3.5m long... That fin is huge!... Let alone what the fin is attached to.

Oh my farking god, I can't believe that footage. Those guys are so lucky...the frequency of shark attack these days is getting way too high. I don't have a yellow leggy, but if I did I'd be ditching it.

Scary ****, unbelievable footage.. Glad he is ok.

but geez the media are blowing it up. If a shark attacks there is blood or damage greater then a cut leggie.

If a shark that big wanted to do damage it would have.. mick punching it would have done fark all.

But I'd still be buying a lotto ticket and having a few whiskeys after that.

We need a major cull of all sharks everywhere (even those gummy ones).
We can't have sharks attacking humans in the ocean.
It's a disgrace
