How many times has this commentator seen people being attacked by sharks? lol he is sooo calm about it, like he's smoking a joint at the same time lol
wtfMYRON well considering he's from south africa and been doing it most of his life, id say more than the land-locked idiots commenting on this video...
Northcoast Yen You Don't Surf!
wtfMYRON I think they were too stunned. They didn't know if Mick was dying right in front of them. I've seen something similar with a person about to get hit by a car on a bike and when you are too far away to do anything about it you are just frozen watching hoping they make it. That's what was happening with the announcers.
Steve Carey yeah maybe they were just trying to be chill in case he got gobbled up
Kevin Collinsworth Lying little shit with your bullshit shirt fuck you
4 years later and still watching this .Unbelievable
Haha me too
4 years later and I still have no desire to ever surf South Africa
Over Why ? We have amazing surf breaks here
@@ashdgee White Shark capital of the world. Nothing against SA surfers, if anything y'all have bigger balls than me 😂 I'm just not there yet.
Over 😂😂 I get you haha .I thought California and West Oz topped in terms of shark activity,according to an article I read somewhere,might be wrong
I remember Julian Wilson crying in an interview soon afterwards and explaining that he actually tried to get TO Mick Fanning to help him, just he with his surfboard, because he thought that Mick will actually die now and he is the only one that has any chance to get there fast enough! I never heard anyone talking afterwards about that Julian Wilson is a Hero.
I saw that as well. I thought it was really wholesome that Julian Wilson would try and help Mick Fanning, especially since most people in that situation would probably worry about themselves first.
This is the link, just in case anyone else wanted to check it out: czcams.com/video/e2v94zbfI_M/video.html
We all knew it.
Much saw him coming towards him and told him to get back
Lol the commentator calm the whole time "Oh, you can see a little splash"... meanwhile he's fighting the shark
>
I couldn’t believe him
what the ef was that commentator watching, has he never seen Jaws?
its called professionalism. he kept his calm during a scary situation. is it better if he just freaks out and is yelling "OMG he getting attacked by a shark"?
@@markloroff better than waiting for the water to turn red. Thank for it didn’t.
Thanks for the support everybody, that was truly a scary day.
Wow, freaky man, God kepted you on this Earth for a reason hey mate, God bless you brother 😀👍🙌🏄
God bless you
What a reality check huh? Glad you’re on the other side of it mate.
Your board saved your life bro.
How the frick do the idiots here actually believe it’s mick
The "Holy Shit" heard around the world. If there ever was a time to say that on TV, this would be it. On a serious note, glad to see that he was unharmed.
JustBombsProductions Lmao, my thoughts exactly. I actually didn't hear him say it the first time because I was just focused on the shark attack.
JustBombsProductions I said the same thing out loud when I first say the video. At the same time.
Frederic Beaudet I hope he doesn't get in trouble for it. I'm going to school for broadcasting and there is a zero tolerance for cursing on TV. This should be an exception.
JustBombsProductions Rules are meant to be broken.
I think saying "holy shit" when you see a surprise shark attack live is forgivable. And, anyone pushing to nail him for that human reaction should be fired.
Meanwhile in Atlantis : Shark Punched by Mick Fanning for no reason at all.
+V4SILEV You need post this man.
*****
Shark: This humans are weird!
Female Shark: Don't be whit humans son.
*****
Dad Shark: Oh My Glob...They're coming!!!Protect the kids!
***** The governmant approves.
😂😂
Also, for those who don't know, they did not resume the Final.
Instead, both Mick Fanning and Julian Wilson were rewarded second place, splitting the sum of the first and second place prizes.
Good ending. Smart decision.
As it should be! Glad to hear it
Happy Fanno got out unharmed, that was heavy!
Red Bull Please make man vs. shark fisticuffs with GoPro helmets equipped a Red Bull sport.
Red Bull If he had wings would he have been able to fly away?
Yeah you kooks sure would have hated to lose that world champion endorsement.
oliverclothesove so sick bro
Red Bull There's that word again. "Heavy." Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?
Being here in Australia for about 6 years now I've never went beyond more than 5 meters at the beach lol
He's in South Africa
Obsidikis Necrosine I'm sure he's not talking about depth. He means 5 meters away from land which I find a little bit too brave as well for Australia.
5 metres that's so dumb I've everyone goes out further than that it's not that dangerous sharks don't attack most the time anyway and I am 17 surfing since I was 9
For an island Australia has some pretty shitty beaches
I have lived in Australia all my life and I go to the beach regularly. Shark attacks are rare more so on the east cost then the west. Sharks won't generally attack you unless you agitate them. In this case the shark probably got caught in the leg rope hence the thrashing.
This whole situation was incredible, but I especially hope Julian Wilson will get more recognition for immediately swimming towards Mick and the shark to help him fight it off. A real friend.
I was watching this on TV. When that wave appeared and they lost sight of him, I thought he was fucked. That was some scary shit.
I remember this i was streaming it in my phone
"Hum...you can see uh little splush".
For these kind of moments you need a soccer commentator : "HOLLYYYYYY SHIIIIIIIIIT NNNOOOOOO !!!!! NOOOOOooOOooOOO !!!!! FANIIIING IS BEEEEEING ATTAAAAAACKED BY A FUUUUCKIN SHAAAAARK !!!!! OOOOOH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOD !!!!! NOOOOOOO !! "
Ahahahahahahaha! Indeed 😂.
Florent Devier LMAO, I laughed more than I should
I agree. WORST COMMENTATOR EVER.
Florent Devier yeah, it went from "little splash" to "holly shit" in a blink
Florent Devier GOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL gogogogogogoggo OOOOOOLL GOGOGOGOGOGOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAL!
The shark didnt mean to cause all this fuss, he just wanted Micks Autograph
thelastDAN that's not true shark tried to eat him up ,mm
@@nanayaaamoah2092 the shark would of come from underneath him at full speed instead of strolling towards on top of the surface. the shark was just checking Fanning saying hows it bru.
1:25 "Yeah, that's one of the dangers of professional surfing, you know... being eaten by a shark."
godfatherNYC Ah yea...how bout being a professional ANYTHING ELSE...soccer, baseball, hockey, tidily winks...Geez Louise.
Don't know why people surf near sharks but don't do skateboarding or something next to lions or bears I mean might as well.
You are right, Surfers are idiots
Allan Truong lmaooo, please re read what you just said
@@artiet3723 in tolfino BC where the only sharks we have are dogfish sharks that don't attack people.
Plot twist: Shark was a fan of Mick Fanning, she just want a selfie.
LMAOOOO
+Benedict Eduard de Pio HAHAHA
yes, hug from him!
That poor shark swam off sad because he just wanted to say hi and Mick punched it
More like she wanted a love bite 🦈
XD the announcer-
"Holy Shit _> ...... Scuze' me"
SLIPKNOT2015 Lmfaooo x)
0:07 "Holy shit...excuse me." LOL!
Lol that was hilarious
Don King lol didn't even catch that, swearing is so normal nowadays
طكظثزظكظطججججدددصز ضطظثظثظظثططموثمزكم
Don King funny as shit lol
Don King That was a well appropriate "holy shit", he is duly excused. Oh man, I don't know if I'd have enough composure as Fanning did to get away, good man.
lmao announcer said "holy shit...... excuse me"
Seusanelly No apology was necessary. I would have said worse.
How dare he say "Excuse me" 😀 LOL
Everyone said "holy shit!"
@@Lue_Serenity I felt like the "excuse me" was more offensive lol like the man might have been dying in front of your eyes
I wish there was drone footage to see what the shark was doing just like 30 seconds before it came up to him
That's actually a great idea
observing him without much movement
just strolling around having a party, if the shark was interested in attacking him, the shark wouldnt have announced itself in walking pace.
Searching for its wallet and keys
It was looking for a sharpie to get an autograph
WAKE UP IN THE COMMENTARY BOX !!!!
slowest , most emotionally dead reaction to a guy been attacked by a shark !!
Nick Vassilis I agree
***** Probably because it was an actual life or death situation. When those situations arise, the commentator shouldn't be going crazy. That'd be insensitive.
***** Your spot on !! and well said !!
I'm pretty sure for those few seconds he had no idea what was going on
You hear him say, "there seems to be some splashing." As if he didn't quite understand what was going on
Then you hear "holy shit." "Excuse me"
They were surprised what was going on
But they do have to be professional too.
Nick Vassilis Guy was maybe dying there, what the commentator should do? Shout? Cry? or what
I feel like him and the shark had the same reaction to each other lol
Нет просто акула была не голодна.
There's a shaak in the wada
Oh shit I Laughed too harf at this😂😂
That’s wicked pissa
It do go down
He brook meeee bloodie leg roap. Luckily he didn’t biate me
Shark was like "I just wanted to surf as well and got punched for no reason..."
Holy shit.
ScoutingForFifa Saw this live!!! #SOSCARY
ScoutingForFifa if i was him I'd say holy fuckkkkkkkk ah hmmm excuse me
TheGumblesaur I don't know why the announcer felt the need to say "excuse me"...97% of ppl watching were saying the same thing along with him...the other 3% were saying what Counter Strike said
ScoutingForFifa Note to self: Don't ever buy an optic green surfboard that looks like a giant fishing lure.
caycug1 LOL True, most surfing attack are because the shark think they are seal, for how they look from the bottom of the water!!!
My home is not your sports playground. That is what the shark said.
Abby Tabby ikr
orhema oluga some crazy sh** up in this place tho
orhema oluga yes, it is crazy but nothing surprising really.
That was a really dry joke not even funny.
Abby Tabby Really? I never heard him say that!
That had to be absolutely terrifying, especially when he disappeared underwater, and he didn't pop back up to the surface right away.
he didnt go under water the wave covered the view.
Never shows that. Showed him disappearing behind the wave.
Still to this day im shocked that the other surfer saw the shark and swam TOWARDS it and not away beacuse he was scared his friend was gonna die.
I don't think the shark was trying to attack Mick initially. This video shouldn't be called shark attack it should probably should be called 'shark gets stuck and freaks out'. I agree with other people (and even Mick mentioned) that it probably was just being inquisitive and got stuck in his leg leash (hence the thrashing). There's no way an actual shark attack would've begun by thrashing crazily above water like that, most either leap and grab or come from underneath and pull down. If that shark wanted to eat Mick it would've and DEFINITELY would've have done it like that. We wouldn't have even known he was attacked until he was attacked and blood was in the water.
I fully agree with you people need to stop stero typing not sharks animals and people
caitkirk The publisher purposely titled the video like that just to get people to click on it. People and the media often do that to get people's attention. You're right about how the shark wasn't attacking him, but titles are misleading sometimes.
caitkirk Finally - someone with some sense. Great comment
caitkirk Ditto; if the shark was hungry Mr Fanning's remains would have sunk to the bottom of the ocean.....
What happened to ethics in journalism??? "Shark attack" blah blah blah, "lone gunman" blah blah blah......
Its a pretty sad world when youtube bloggers have higher research standards than public media
Agreed, you can see his leg leash was cut, can almost guarantee that it just got stuck and thrashed about, breaking the rope
This happened to me once. But it was seaweed, and I was crying.
Best comment EVER
Thank you for such a great laugh!
HAHHAHAHA this is very hilarious man
🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahahah
Much respect for Ronado or whoever owned this competition for taking a shark attack and the surfers safety so seriously! They need to be applauded!
Shark: MiCK FanNInG Is IN thE watER!
Mick: *Punch*
Shark :(
Holy smokes. The commentator was strangely super calm about it.
You must have missed when he said holy Sh*t at 0:09. He did recoup fast.
I love how proper the announcers have to be. It's like you're watching a guy almost get eaten by a shark, and he still says excuse me for saying holy shit. I think I would have had said more that that.
I remember watching this live when it happened.I was like holy F**Ken shit he just got nailed by a damn shark! Scared the crap out of me cause I thought I just seen a man die in real time.
the shark was investigating and got frightened and began splashing. the shark wasn't in hungry mode. thats why he didn't get bitten
Yea, if the shark was actually hungry or angry, Mick would have been fucked up.
shark just want to play, hugs and caress (to palm) )
really? or did he just get that lucky? I don't believe attacks occur often enough to make this kind of conclusion
shark got frightened and began splashing!!!!!!!! Thats the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life.
guys I'm sure stevepwn is a pro surfer and shark expert his knowledge is impressive I didn't know sharks splashed when they got scared lol bro your an idiot no offense but maybe try reading
Interview with shark for Fox News be like:
"I was just swimming along, and some dude hits me in the back... MADNESS!"
Interview with shark for CNN: "I was just swimming when Trump grabbed me, whispered something racist in my ear and pushed me into this surfer..."
Deflect and project! Good job libtard!
Interview with shark for MSNBC: “innocent, unarmed, black shark attacked by racist, bald, white supremacist Trump supporter.” “Witness’ say the shark had his fins up and was non violent.”
You got your networks mixed up, bud
Anyone else try to click away the Mick Fanning stat-card as if it was an ad at first?
RaxuRangerking hahahahaha yes!!!!! ROFLMAO
halag Did you actually roll on the floor laughing?
RaxuRangerking I went back to check what you meant and did it instantly -_-
Farah Jade lol xD
RaxuRangerking Nuh i got add blocker
The 3,000 thumbs down are all the sharks
It's crazy how he doesn't even have a little scratch from that shark.
The shark never intended to hurt him. It let go as soon as it realized that was no food.
yeah, he punched it several times - thankfully - what people didn't see when that wave blocks the camera, is that the great white circled back and went for him a second time - and he punched the hell out of it and then somehow they got over to him that fast
@CLOUT you're right in a way. Many species like white sharks are not really interrested in humans as good. But they can take it as a feeding opportunity and eat human. We are way from being their primary preys. But it can happen.
I'm from Reunion Island and I worked on the shark issue in Reunion for 8 years.
I can definitively tell you that shark not eating human is a myth.
It happens very very rarely. But it does. White sharks, tiger sharks and bull sharks are opportunists. They eat what they can and sometimes they try human.
I think what Mick Fanning experienced this day was a territorial charge or attack. And yes at this moment, the shark can try to taste.
The situation in Reunion is very special as the rate of attacks with feeding motive is very heavy compared to the normality anywhere else.
But yes, we can be their preys.
They are apex predators and have a great adaptability. They can change their preys easily and that's how they survive for 36 million years. They capability of taking almost anything as food must not be taken away for the good sake of shark conservation. No lies. A predator is a predator.
@@bonbondesel and once they taste you're full of holes😁
@@bonbondesel I always say that while we may not be as high as seals on their menu, we are definitely on their menu. I’ll never deny that a hungry Great White can and will eat us. I believe the only thing that stops them from doing it immediately is them trying to figure out what we are, we are rare to them. Hence, why they circle us so much. The minute they figure it out, and figure out how to attack us, they will without hesitation, and I LOVE Great Whites. But, I’ll never stand here and say we aren’t on their menu.
If this is some viral marketing thing for Shaknado, I'M OUT!
Hi Ricardo!
Sharknado is awesome!

LOL wow

2023, and it's amazing that this surfer survived this shark attack. God Bless him!
Dear WSL, please don't license this footage to the Discovery Channel. I can already see this being the highlight of Shark Week 2016. Imagine the flashy jump cuts, suspenseful music, and ominous narration that will undoubtedly turn this into an hour long primetime special.
"holy shit... excuse me" lol Nah dude
At 4:58 I thought that guy was Arnold Schwarzenegger for a second
Ghostdinosawur What in the actual... that is Arnie!
Ghostdinosawur He's gotta tell Mick it's ok to get back in the water. Sharks are predators and they won't kill you if you're not armed - it's no sport.
Ghostdinosawur NOOOOOOH! ITS A SHEEEARK!! HURRY, GET OUT OF THE WATAH!! IT'LL BE BACK!! GET TO DA CHOPPAH

Love how he comes back next year and wins the event! Straight up boss!
@ACE It’s not boring
Basic australian, gets attacked by shark, starts fighting it :D
Njoy32Gaming and Julian wilson saying i had my board and i was ready to stab it, i had a weapon.. goes to show australian's aren't afraid of anything

Michael Matt lol me two
Michael Matt well if u were bitten atleast the wetsuit would hold ure body parts together xD
Harrison Pao Please explain to me how the shark can sever body parts without penetrating the suit in any way.
well since its a wet suit it sticks to ure body
so it would hold it together

I was watching this back then & his friends/crew were very emotional, as they thought there for a sec, that he was harmed. Very scary but his friends reaction was sweet. Glad he's ok!
THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK...
Let me start by saying that I'm happy Mick was Safe...thats the important part!
That being said, as a surfer here in San Diego, I hope that we can educate the media and the rest of the world on the difference of an "Attack" and an "Encounter".
It appears that this shark was snooping around, got caught in his leash and did what anyone would do...thrashed around to get free.
If it had been an attack, the shark would have come up from behind or below with mouth wide open, teeth showing and hit Mick.
Im not discounting how frightening this was...i just hope that people recognized that there is a big difference in an attack and an encounter.
Jim Bunch He punched it in the back. It was an attack. SMH
bob roberto I hope you're making an accurate joke about how the attack was on the shark by the human. If so, *applause*
***** Seriously??? Are you saying the shark "Missed" a human "sitting" (not even paddling) on a surfboard in open water?
Often an attack begins with a 'friendly' nudge, esp if the shark isnt used to humans.
rahowhero the shark also circled back around. Mick put the surfboard in between himself and the shark too which is a spot on move. Unless you watched this unfold at the time, you don't get it. That wave that pops up felt like it took forever and the only thing u were preparing to see was Mick gone. So to us who watched it unfold, to the emotion of Mick and all his friends as he made his way back to camp, it was an attack.
How rude of him to punch that shark. What if the shark was all like " hey dude are you alright you're just chillin without moving" and came to check up on him amd gets socked in the face.
Sergio Hernandez must be a bummer... not being able to surf and all
Northcoast Yen You don't surf
Are u kidding me?? U think it's rude that mick tried to save his life? The shark came up to him and attacked him of course he's going to defend himself
You are an idiot. Sharks are wild animals, I hope it was you there surfing and you got chewed up good by that shark.
Sergio Hernandez yeah we humans are such bullies.
Imagine being family watching this unfold on live TV. Those fews seconds they couldn't see anything would had been the worse all you see is splashing.
I love the moment he's holding his cut leash and just staring at it in disbelief. HOLY FUUUUUUUUUCK!!
"You're gonna need a bigger board."
Lol
I was so happy to see that Fanning and all the other participants came out unharmed. Kudos to our Australian brothers and god bless them all because he did.
This is the most preposterous display of journalism I've ever heard. This guy deserves an Oscar for biggest corporate puppet
The way we dont see him for a few seconds before the wave breaks...
I dont always comment but when i do...
I reply to myself
robot llama I laughed a little out loud on on your first comment (well if I'm being honest, it was more of a pleased, knowing smile), but that turned into disappointment once I saw that you followed up with a punchline.
The most interesting commenter in the world would never add the punchline..
*Nice 😉

فارس فارس Mohammud don't surf.
so glad hes okay! Grew up in Melbourne FL and there are a lot of sharks around there so when i saw this my heart kind of dropped. I've seen this sort of thing happen before but you never think its gonna happen to you. Just reminds the global surf community to be aware of whats around you as best you can. Be safe guys! Remember you are a guest in their home, respect it.
"Holy shit"excuse me
This man seriously has balls of steel. Not only did he survive, he had a shark in a headlock and punched it off! I hope he retired and had himself a good life.

Guy just got attacked by a shark: 'This is why we are here, right? This is why we are here. This is why this is here, right? This is exactly why this is here. Everyone is ah, we're all here. We're all cool.' WTF is he on about? 2:59
I reckon he's on about the safety boat. That's why the safety measures are in place - that sorta thing.
Louis Taks LOL seriously that dude was tripping he wasn't making any damn sense haha I thought I was the only one who was like wtf is this guy talking about?
That guy is Peter Mel. Badass big wave surfer
I understood him perfectly, the emotion I was feeling when I watched it live I could only imagine how they were feeling.
E nai 6th. .The
5 years later and still watching this... unbelieveble
slowly speaking, trying to maintain his professionalism and suddenly..."holy shit! Excuse me..." Gotta love his sincere human reaction.
People who say that sharks should be removed from competition areas should realize
1. The sharks were there first, we randomly decided to go into the waters.
2. It's the beaches fault technically speaking since there are fences that goes around the swimming areas of beaches to prevent sharks.
3. Sharks don't really know what they're going after so they can't be considered blood thirsty.
We're gonna need a bigger board.
"His board is dead"
Please craft level 999 surfboard.
Страшно представить, что испытал этот парень, находясь в воде, после нападения... Он грёб руками, понимая, что его руки и ноги под прицелом акулы... Супер, что он выбрался целым👍
He's said it himself: The shark got curious (surf boards look like seals from below), got caught in the leg rope and panicked. All it wanted was to break free of that rope and when it did, it fled immediately. Would people please stop hating on sharks? They were in the ocean millions of years before humans decided it was a fun sport to ride on waves... -.-
The "surf board looks like seal" statement is actually a myth. If the shark thought it was a seal, Mick Fanning would be dead. Sharks approach seals at very high speeds in an effort to tear them apart, so that the seals can't hurt them with their claws and teeth. In this particular case, the shark saw the surf board and instinctively thought "That could be food and it's similar in size to my usual prey, so let's go check it out". That's why the shark approached so slowly, usually they bite in order to verify if that object is edible. Fanning's reaction was great, by punching the shark, he let him know that he wasn't easy prey, and the shark skedaddled.
I haven't read anything about anyone hating on sharks. The over all feeling associated with the comments has been thankfulness that Mick didn't get hurt, how scary the situation must have been, and how this is the risk of being active in their world because guess what? Like it or not, sharks are dangerous, but nobody is blaming sharks for that. They are just in the ocean doing what sharks do.
Pretty sure nobody hates on animals for being animals…. But perhaps stop hating on humans for being human, friend…. Sharks gotta eat, okay…. Surfers gotta surf…. Is there a problem?
@@ItsAllGodAnyway ah, nice try flippinhg an argument around^^ asking people to stop telling an animal what to do in its natural habitat is not hating on humans. Not everything is either one or the other, friend^^
My dude... their "curiosity" could kill you, or take a huge chunk out of your body.
People don't necessarily hate sharks, but they're not going to be like "awww he's just curious. It's perfectly harmless"
He's gonna remember that for the rest of his life. He handled it surprisingly well.
I have a question I'm wondering can they keep a drone in the sky during this competition to look out for sharks and possibly alert before any injuries might
Once you step into the ocean, you’re no longer master of your domain
True words have never been spoken!
There was around 35 seconds from when he first got attacked, to when he got on the back of the ski. Scariest 35 seconds of his life...
"Holy shit. Excuse me."
Lol. You're excused, dear commentator.
That's pro surfer Mick Fanning, from Australia. In 2015, at the J-Bay open in South Africa. It was a great white around 12'-14' I believe. He didn't get bit at all. And retired like 3 years later after this incident. He's been really successful he made a beer company with a few friends and then sold it for an awesome amount later.
1:27 "yeah.. that's one of the dangers of professional surfing, I guess You're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat".
I don't think this was a shark attack. It just seemed like an awkward encounter between Mick and the shark because they both didn't know what the f*** was going on. The leg rope obviously got stuck in it's mouth and it freaked out. In reaction, Mick then freaked out. Thank God the shark didn't react by biting him though, this could've very easily been horrible footage
I agree I did a freeze frame where the dorsal fin was completely visible.the shark appeared to be less than 8 ft long and possibly a bull or tiger.. the dorsal did not look like a white pointer species lucky boy that Mick!!!
yeah I thought so maybe but go listen to Micks in depth interview he gives a few weeks after this - we can't see what happens because of the wave blocking the camera - It definitely was a great white and it came back a second time and he was punching the hell out of it
This is one of those very rare times when it's okay to say 'holy sh*t" on live TV...
Great work by Julian you absolute legend. Sharkie hoping for a selfie with Mick. I think he won at J-Bay 4 or 5 times in total (???) including the year before and after this. Balls of steel. Luvs the place. Even the local wildlife wanted a closer look.
Nasceu de novo, pode comemorar 2 datas de aniversário agora !!
... So, there are still shark in the oceans... That's a very good news.
Better for the earth that sharks remain alive than... surfers.
I'm ok with surfers, they know the risk. but each time an attack happens, many people think sharks are "bad", "bloody"... etc. That is crazy.
To be honest I'm a surfer and I love sharks :)
***** more like ignorant.
***** preach!!!
***** if it attacks you and you manage to kill it with your bare hands or a knife in a fair fight, yes.
Ikr
i was sitting on my board in the lineup and as the wave rose up a shadow about the size of a vw bus rose below me. it was a tiger shark. sucked the breath right out with my heart through my ears. I paddled with tiny fingers to shore. a few months ago and I've been spooked ever since.
t mac Plenty of surfers never go back in again after a close encounter. But most are back in that day.
They call this Monday in Stralya.
It was in South Africa
@npgSymboL he wasn't saying it was in Australia. He is joking around saying this is what Australians deal with on monday's.
Paper St. Club have you been to ocean beach in WA before it’s amazing in my opinion.
Who would ever think you get the play by play of a shark attack. hahahhaha
impresiona muchisimo :S
hi
Nice reaction of the safety crew. Awesome Job!!!
Did the shark attack him or did it get tangled in the leg rope? He said there were two shark attacks but I didn't really understand that.
I'm not into surfing, but I'm glad he mad it out alright. Great response by the rescue boat and jet skis too.
I find it hard to punch underwater.
Can someone tell what's the name of that song playing. Its really good!
The commentator excusing himself after saying “holy shit” 😂😂😂 pretty sure that would have been the most polite thing said be any of us who were watching that live
That shark was just teasing... At that distance he would have been sitting in his stomach if he was indeed going for dinner. Mick can thank God for still being alive.
X-VERTIGO Yes!
Who is this god?
He's definitely at the bar telling this story right now...Just know someone's daughters are getting slayed 2night in S.A.
X-VERTIGO God creates sharks, god creates man... shark eats man... thank god? Hmmmm.... Think we need to go back to the drawing board on that one.
Jake Jarmel The old guy that lives in the clouds...throws lightning bolts and causes earthquakes, tornados and shit when his pissed at us...Cast Satan of heaven because he was shorting him rent $$ and talking behind his back.
Shark was only after his autograph and he punched it. Ive heard the shark is thinking about a lawsuit.
Sorry to ask a dumb question but, if he was pulled under the water, why isnt he bleeding? wouldnt the shark have to bite him to pull him under?
Clip on TV did not show the guy going under like that. WOW.
This will go viral. Glad he's alright.

Yip
This guy is wayyy under-reacting to what is going on... It looks like a fuckin shark is eating the guy and he barely raises the tone of his voice!!!!
they never even mentioned the word ' shark' in the moments after the encounter....
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
