The J-Bay Open in South Africa is a highly lauded event in the pro-surf calendar, and in 2015 it was broadcast live across the world. Surfer Mick Fanning felt something playing with his board’s leash and noticed a massive shark trailing behind him.
Jumping out of the way, the shark went for his board before turning its attention towards him, but Fanning got in their first landing blows on the Shark so that it turned tail and swam away. With a damaged board and a little shaken up, Fanning was otherwise unharmed when rescuers pulled him from the water.
