    Surfer Bitten In Half By A SHARK!

    Surfer bitten in half
    By Richard Shears, Daily Mail, in Sydney

    A surfer was bitten in half after losing a desperate fight for his life with two Great White sharks.


    Brad Smith, 29, was surfing off the Western Australian coast when a huge shark 'as wide as a car' lunged out of the water and snapped his board in half.

    Mr Smith's friends could only watch in horror as he fell into the sea and another of the enormous creatures moved in on him. Experts said it was almost as if they had ambushed him.

    The surfer lashed out with his fists to try to keep the sharks at bay as they came at him repeatedly. But after just 45 seconds he disappeared beneath the surface - and the water turned red.

    When his body floated back up, his friends risked their own lives to go out and drag it back to shore.

    Yesterday they were too upset to describe his injuries, but another surfer at Left Handers Beach near the resort of Gracetown said he had been warned: 'Don't go in there, someone's been bitten in half by a shark.'

      The guy was fighting for his life. Tough guy to take on two great whites that are the size of cars.

                      So you're saying it wasn't a goldfish?

                      Just the way you emphasized SHARK in your title. Like, no shit!

                                      yeah, HALF maybe should have been the word emphasised

                                              My Ex-husband SKULL-BUITRE ran off to Colombia with OUR money and screwed me after I helped him build OUR business.
                                              He is hiding in Colombia and never paid the settlement $ from our divorce!

                                                      I surf a lot, it is always sad to hear something of that nature, but the reality is that the chances of something like this happening are very minimal.

                                                      Unfortunately, these stories tend to do more harm than good. People destroy sharks due to a limited mentality.

                                                      Most of the time, Sharks mistake surfers for seals. I doubt the two sharks "ambushed" him.

                                                                  1.) so I can cut my leash.

                                                                      I have had them come up and bump my board and feet, then circle. They will warn you of trouble, but the likelyhood of a shark attacking is so damn low.

                                                                      I am way more afraid of the LA freeways. Mostly because I share them with CA Dave and his arsenal of fast cars and fast women.

                                                                          ?The sharks kept on getting him. Both were huge ? about five metres long.

They didn't get too close but we stayed on alert. Found out later they completely closed the public beach about a mile away because they spotted a school of Bull sharks right off the beach.

We spotted a a couple of sharks while in the water. They didn't get too close but we stayed on alert. Found out later they completely closed the public beach about a mile away because they spotted a school of Bull sharks right off the beach.
                                                                                                              that is one type of shark you don't want to fuck around with, the bullshark............they are the most belligerent and attack with the greatest frequency of the sharks

We have films like "Jaws" to thank for permanently branding sharks as evil killers and helping to continue the paranoia against these sweet lil' critters.

It's a double rare situation because according to the story the two shark tag teamed the dude. Every icthyologist has never heard of shark working in a team. Closest they get is a feeding frenzy. This is something to be alarmed at.

                                                                                                                                                                          The other sea predators like Killer Whales, Sea Lions etc. rarely attack unless provoked or if their young are threatened. Been known to bite a man in half or swallow him whole. Should read the old stories from the 1800s during the whaling days. Whales didn't take any shit back then. If they couldn't flee they'd attack and fuck up a ship easy.

When is someone going to catch this on film ? How fucking crazy do you have to be to surf in Australlia ? I'm surprised these crazy fucks don't get eaten more often. And by the way when is a crockodile going to put the crock hunter out of his misery. I can't believe he hasn't ben hit yet. It will happen..sooner or later

Now talk about survival of the fittest.

When is someone going to catch this on film ? How fucking crazy do you have to be to surf in Australlia ? I'm surprised these crazy fucks don't get eaten more often. And by the way when is a crockodile going to put the crock hunter out of his misery. I can't believe he hasn't ben hit yet. It will happen..sooner or later

It's about him in the hospital and they were showing his surgery footage after getting bit by a crocidile.

They're planning to track it down and kill it but he doesnt want them too.
