Ha ha did you see the 7pm project having a laugh at his little 'love bite', ha ha shark attacks are becoming so commonly reported that if you dont loose some serious claret you get told to go back and get bitten properly

[Conjob v1.1]

That guys a joker .. he was bitten by a wobbegong for sure.

[miiichael]

I thought he got bitten by a megalodon SHARK...

anyway who care's what type of shark it was, still was a freaking shark.

[Conjob v1.1]

Id take a bite by a wobbegong if people were going to think it was a great white and id get paid for a couple of interviews

[marty_n]

According to this data, people from NSW are the most likely to be mistaken as fish food. Not sure if its because they swim funny or whether NSW folk have a particular smell that sharks like.... or perhaps the sharks just arent too bright in that neck of the woods

yeah NSW has lots of breeding grounds, lots of seal colonies too hahahaha

lots of river mouths

and since we stopped commercial fishing in the harbour the number of bullsharks has risen!

I've been spotting some giant tuna lately and last night there were 3 penguins off my local and a whole flock of seaguls eating fish HAHAHA

I also hate looking at stats i usually get that awkward

isn't it about time feeling off seeing the dates

Still CRAZY low chances of getting taken by one.

For some reason though I freaked out mid session at Poo Ants on the weekend just paddled real quick out to the line up with Noble. Hate it when you get those paranoid attacks

[captain_awesome]

its even worse when you think your leash is a bluebottle and shake it off like a spastic adhd kid

Yeah swoods thats half why i put it up, such low chances of getting taken, and if you do get bitten you have a better chance than half of dying from it.

I had a mini freak last surf i had too haha paddled into a large deep rip and was surrounded by salmon, not the best place to be in a known sharky spot
