Caught on Camera: Shark bites surfer's leg in Australia

[lyndenhadley]

I loved the bit where the shark didn’t bite the surfers leg. That was awesome 🙄

Isn't everyone glad we don't have the dislike button anymore, would have saved me a minute and 14 seconds

In the original video you can see the shark in the wave which takes place before this video starts, however no one was bitten. The 1 surfer spotted the shark just meters away and the 4 of them swam back to the reef. The shark didn't follow.

Think i might have gone blind or maybe i blinked because i certainly didn’t see any biting

Like the way the two guys are subconsciously thinking there is safety in numbers as they swim towards their friend. Third guys is like “ get the hell away from me!”

Seen quite a few fins in water over the years. The worst experience surfing an offshore reef alone at dawn, couple of hundred meters away from shore. Loneliest feeling in the world having a huge fin sticking out of the water parallel to you.

It’s almost as if people are surprised about sharks being in the ocean.

Haven't you ever heard the story of the boy that cried Wolf

WHERE DOES IT BITE LEG....DONT WATCH FALSE

[psw]

Just looking at the water and being there not knowing is scary. You can almost feel what's underneath.

Some serious click bait here, no shark and that’s not bells .

I once saw a shark while on my paddleboard about 3 Meters long and about 2 Meters away, my first reaction was to start paddling fast to get away but after paddling fast twice I then I realised the splashing would make it more interested in attacking so I paddled away nice n slow, splashing around frantically is not a good idea, that's what a food source would do, you would have been assessed many times by sharks but your not the smell there after they keep hunting n leave you be, the shark I seen was just swimming slowly next to me was curious not furious

to all who have gone before me with that nugget of sage wisdom, handed down the ages...'they mistake us for seals, so it's not their fault'...well...i agree...they do what they do and they do it well...but why the hell are we so obsessed with our own self-importance and blind to the fact that we are just another food source to these creatures....arrogant in the assumption that we are above nature itself... on a planet that has been gifted to us and upon which we reside...? i wouldn't even run a bath and dip a toe in whilst visiting australia, my god...i'll stick to a healthy respectful fear of these animals that overpower my dreams occasionally, whilst urging others of our race to stop f*cking killing them at the rate of 100 million each year....we deserve a fate worse than being shredded alive by them...

Dude doesn't even lift his legs out of the water, or use them to kick since they were left in the water. Geez.

The way surfers always go in to the attack zone to help other surfers!
The way they wait in the water to make sure they are ok.
When everyone else would rationally rush to shore is incredible to me!!
They are true heroes and must be the best friends to have 🙏❤️🙏

I just watched like 10 times I don't see shark. It's their feet swinging in the air that almost looks like dorsal fin but Def no shark...visible anyways.

[gtamediaproductions]

Wow just witnessed his leg being bitten clean off!! Horrific! 🤔

[KM-wskf]

All I saw was some Barneys lookin lost

[NZCLUB_reals]
