As pointed out all the BS is in the SUP forum!
are you kidding, the guy negotiated an exclusive media deal before talking...
played the phuckers at their own game and prob walked away with a tidy sum to boot.
in my books he's a winner

well in his defense they do go pretty nuts.
funny though. i kinda figured it was a wobby.... close to rocks, still had his calf etc. those fish have small teeth.
1.6m wobby...that's embarrassing.![]()
They are ambush predators though, and very territorial. I've caught a few when fishing, and dived next to a 2.7m one (whilst it was asleep!)
From what I've been told, they're one of only a few sharks that if grabbed by their tail, can reach around & bite you. In saying that, it would've given him a bit of a fright, although an adult person (70+kgs) should be able to fend off a 5-6ft wobby (prob about 40kgs).
Next time I go out, I'm going to scratching myself with a pin and call it a Great White Attack.
That guy and his kid deserve a bashing, for dis'ing the poor shark.
