Professional Surfer Attacked by Shark

All sports have potential dangers, but not many of them have shark attacks as a possible hazard. Australian professional surfer Mick Fanning had to deal with this shark attack while competing in the finals of the World Surf League’s Championship Tour J-Bay Open in South Africa.

It amazes us that Fanning escaped injury but thankfully he did. The remainder of the tournament was cancelled. Some of the best surfing waters, such as off the South African coast, are also places that sharks like to hang out at the most too, so this occupational hazard isn’t going to go away.
