Caught on Camera: Shark bites surfer's leg in Australia

[@True_Blood_89]

In the original video you can see the shark in the wave which takes place before this video starts, however no one was bitten. The 1 surfer spotted the shark just meters away and the 4 of them swam back to the reef. The shark didn't follow.

[@christinaPG86]

HATE how media/news try to make it something it wasn't and to fear sharks and make them the bad guys. FYI we swim/surf/dive,etc. In THEIR home, they fear us more than we do of them. They are most always just curious and usually most always swim away. Look at hammerheads, you can't ever swim close to one usually. I honestly think media/news and commercials on things that they lie about should be sued and or get arrested for false claims.. its a huge disgusting problem and so many people are falling for them. Specially faking news to get more hits on their pages, and or more fame. Reality TV, fake news. It's sad.

[@gloryglory5688]

There is safety in numbers, in Australia if a shark alarm goes off & you’re on a point break or too far away from shore you get all the surfers coming together & putting feet up on each others board

[@SamuraiSx19]

@@patrickngo1996 don't spit nonsense. are you friends with all sharks around the world? sure hypocritic to talk in the name of all sharks. Such groundless assumptions you should leave for storytellers. Real life doesn't have such straightly written ''guide'' of behaviour of some living species.

[@laowai2000]

Seen quite a few fins in water over the years. The worst experience surfing an offshore reef alone at dawn, couple of hundred meters away from shore. Loneliest feeling in the world having a huge fin sticking out of the water parallel to you.

[@flagzngunz4180]

It’s almost as if people are surprised about sharks being in the ocean.

[@joeberger3441]

What species of shark? Because whites attack people far more often than any other species..even significantly more than Tigers and Bulls and there are only 3500 whites in the world.. millions of miles of coastline around the world and only 3500 of those sharks. Do the math. It's not statistically likely that you'll be in close proximity to THAT type of shark at any random beach. Some beaches are far more likely to have them than others but many almost never have whites around.

[@davidboast9165]

I once saw a shark while on my paddleboard about 3 Meters long and about 2 Meters away, my first reaction was to start paddling fast to get away but after paddling fast twice I then I realised the splashing would make it more interested in attacking so I paddled away nice n slow, splashing around frantically is not a good idea, that's what a food source would do, you would have been assessed many times by sharks but your not the smell there after they keep hunting n leave you be, the shark I seen was just swimming slowly next to me was curious not furious

[@catsooey]

That’s amazing, and scary! I love sharks but I’ve never seen one up close. Was it a white? I’m planning to start surfing soon so I might get my chance to see one. I live in Western MA and I’ve been surfing a few times at Nauset at the national sea shore, but that’s 4 - 4.5 hours away so I don’t get down there that much. But at 43 - after living most of my life living in New England and wishing I was near a surf spot - I just realized Narragansett, RI is less than 2 hours away and it’s the surfing capital of New England. I’m so stoked! Getting a snowboard too to hit the mountains in the winter.

Having been in this situation myself, the rocks are probably closer than the beach and on top of that in your mind your thinking don’t make to much of a splash and dash for it. Days like that ya wish ya had a long board out

[@gettimabodybag6213]

Maybe he was caught in a rip, if that's the case, it's advised to let it take you out & swim across it rather than directly to the beach, plus I'm pretty sure whilst in shock & terrified he was not thinking straight & who could blame the guy? Plus panicking & splashing just excites the shark.

[@nelliesilvers1210]

It's this shit that causes fear mongering and the negativity towards sharks. He wasn't bitten. The shark didn't even show interest in them. I live in Australia and sharks are everywhere along WA atm but there's fuck all attacks...and a lot of them are close to shore. Biiiig ones too. You'd have to be extremely unlucky or in waters at the wrong time (overcast/rough waves/dusk to dawn etc) to be attacked. I've been swimming where sharks are well known to be and never encountered one. You're more likely to die in a car accident on the way home. If they attack it's either because they're provoked or starving due to illness or old age. Juvies might attack from inexperience but even that's rare.
