Saw that on the news today, lucky guy. I bet his wet suit, just became a dump suit.

But what an amazing video...

Does anyone else see the "second" shark? Some places with the story are reporting two sharks, and for a while the surfing association was reporting two sharks. If you look, the fin and tail go behind him, and then the guy turns, tries to paddle away, and right before the wave obscures visual contact, the "second" shark hits him almost head-on... or is the first shark just in hyper-speed mode?

Looks like the tail smacking him in the face during second encounter. Spent some time in South Africa with the breaching Great Whites there and the movement looks too fast to be anything but a tail. But yes, those suckers can turns FAST.

The Surfer Who Fought Off a Shark on Live TV Has Had Another Close Shark Encounter

Mick Fanning just can’t catch a break

One week after fighting off a shark during a televised surf competition in South Africa, surfer Mick Fanning returned to his home in New South Wales, Australia to brave the waves for the first time since the attack.

Filming his return to the water at Hastings Point on the Tweed Coast Saturday was 60 Minutes Australia, and in a trailer for Sunday’s upcoming show, it appears that Fanning had another shark encounter, Aussie newspaper the Courier-Mail reports.

The trailer shows the three-time world champion hugging his mom Liz before hitting the waves, then jumps to Fanning clambering onto a jet ski after spotting another shark.

“There he is,” says Fanning pointing to the ocean and telling a reporter he has seen a shark. “Straight out, I just saw it.”
