This happened in East London, at a place called baboon reef. Shortly afterwards I moved to the arctic in Norway 😊

1. The shark gave him a great gift, as he wisely acknowledges at the end. 2. Although his reaction was of course understandable, there was nothing to fear from the shark after the initial (exploratory) strike was over. If the shark considered him prey, he would not have made it another 10 meters. 3. Fear of sharks is based in anthropocentric ego. If sharks viewed people as prey, humans simply would not be able to surf or swim in the ocean - ever. They are always there, they are brutally efficient hunters, and we are helpless in their element.

Most shark attacks are based on curiosity. Sharks bite to test if we're edible. Most deaths come from blood loss and drowning. Most importantly, you survived and got your hands intact. These are predators that we need to respect. The water is not our primary environment.

I think both can be true. The GWS in particular probably does both, people on boards look like seals. The shark fully intended to eat you, but upon having a taste found you not to be fatty enough. The board probably didn’t have a nice texture either. So yeah some sharks probably test nibble, some try to eat you and figure you’re not very appetising.

@@Nubloot i agree that i depends on the type of shark. Some are potentially dangerous, and some are considered dangerous. Most are not maneaters per se. In most cases it’s about wrong place at the wrong time. Sharks just do what sharks are supposed to do. They’re not bad creatures per se.

Thank you for sharing your experience @shannonainsliesurf. I’m so glad that you made it out of that situation and have even taken something positive from it. It’s awesome that you keep surfing- it’s devastating being unable to do something you love. Is the surfing good where you are in Canada? My sister lives in BC and has had a number of close encounters with black bears. Sending hugs and good vibes your way. Xxx🫂😊

Thanks! Crazy that your sister has had some close encounters with black bears! I’ve heard there are a couple of encounters in Canada. I currently live in Norway and there are no bears there. I haven’t been to Canada yet, but would love to go sometime!

amazing stuff. thank you for sharing.

Glad you are doing well! Thx for sharing your story! Those sharks swam away doubting themselves: Shark 1 “Am I crazy? He totally looked like a seal-until I bit him!” Shark 2 “Thank god you made me miss him! Was it…Was it gross-I mean, the flavor?” Shark 1 shudders “In the moment I was so shocked, I didn’t taste anything. Only now am I starting to notice the flavor. Actually, the worst thing was his eyes, just looking into mine-like he was trying to make a point. And he didn’t even get his teeth out! He just looked at me… I mean, he did look like a seal, right?” Shark 2 “I thought so.”

@@chesspunk489 Call out to Jesus and draw near to Him and He will draw near to you. That is what a part of what the Bible says. The world and people have forsaken and turned their back on Jesus and don’t want His help…. Plus He has given a lot of the power into our hands to help people, but as you can see in the world today there are not many people helping the poor and needy.

@@chesspunk489you think a God who allowed himself to be tortured and killed at the hands of his creation to fulfill his promise to undo their original sin is supposed to come down and just stop all suffering? The point of free will is to give us the choice between good and evil. He can’t intervene only when people choose sin(evil) and stop it from happening because that contradicts the entire point of free will.
