1.5m just a small one, but she stood on it first before the bite, so you cant blam the shark. she was never going to be eaten, just a warning that "Im here too".

Yea just an accident on her behalf. Story has been kind of been blown out of proportion. Its in top 4 list of bbc news, its also on united kingdom's times online, the telegraph, south africas The independent online, Aussies ABC online, news.com.au and Germany's HNA.DE. Seems a shit load for such a small attack but could've been a lot worse

I was surfing cobbles about a week ago, which is a wave right next to north point in W.A and a shark about 2meters long jumped right out of the water. It was about 3 meters in front of us! we got out real quick!

Yeah onefoot, a break in Gizzy, pic probably looks better then the break actually is, but it's real fun, good on the knee too.
Tezza thought it was Cliffs, but it's a break just around the corner from Cliffs.

just got back from a spot where a couple of hunters were hooking threshers on venison with a no. 8 wire trace. Then letting them go. Right beside our bar. Sheesh.
