He actually fought the thing off. Amazing. Those gills are sensitive.

Just a nip - nothing to be alarmed about!

The shark had a few passes at him? Is that normal for a GW?

Was last Sunday really Father's Day in South Australia? Or did this incident actually happen in June? :06:

You're right - the average person would be terrified of being in the waters where it is scientifically proven to be teeming with Great Whites.

The guy who was attacked, however, was not terrified - just plain stupid. Statistics prove/evidence that the SA waters are common for shark attacks - ESPECIALLY the region where this guy was surfing!!

This guy is a clown - he's now calling for the culling of the sharks because he thinks there are too many - he reckons there must be too many because otherwise he wouldn't have been attacked.

Cheers
