A surf ski paddler has been attacked by a shark off Perth, with reports of another great white shark incident south of the city, according to Fisheries officers.
No-one was injured when a shark reportedly went through the middle of a group of surf skiers off Perth's northern Mullalloo Beach at about 7.15am on Wednesday, but one of the skis was bitten, according to the West Australian Fisheries Department.
The group was from the Mullalloo Surf Life Saving Club, and the beach has been closed until further notice.
In the second incident just south of the city, a fisherman reported a great white shark had attacked a crab pot off Saxon Reef in Warnbro Sound at 8am.http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/8486637/shark-attacks-surf-ski-off-perth
It was a simple case of 'mistaken identity'.
The shark thought it was a group of SUPs. 
Far out! - a mate and I surf there all the time in winter... 
And yes I know they are everywhere...
Must admit I have given it a miss on certain grey mid week days when no one else is out - even when it has looked good... just felt uncomfortable with no one else out/around to assist in the event of an incident... luckily this bloke had others around.
No need for a coffee after that - you're heart would already be pumping!!
Actually there is a Shark monitoring buoy of Ocean reef for tagged GW sharks and it is the most activated buoy in all of WA
Something that is not lost on me when ever i surf up this way.
I just changed my leg rope to a coiled one on my xxx because i always felt like the old one towing looked a little like a lure
That's aggressive.
There getting friendlier on the east coast as well. I had one eat the tow rope out of my hands a couple of weeks ago never been so scared in my life.
had a mate tell me yesterday that they were doing step offs at the Pin last week when a terrible beastie launched full body out of water, it had a large fish in its mouth , that they could see, only 60 -80 meteres away.
Good info Laurie
To what effect is what i want to know
were will the ocean go from now and the next 20 years
