Wow...thats some really awful luck. I mean, isnt it supposed to be like REALLY unlikely to get attacked by a shark? Even when surfing...Though I suppose its just natures way, in the end, as sad as it may be

Almost a minute of torture as you feel something eating your flesh and you can do nothing to save yourself.
Scares the freak outta me, but not enough to never go into the ocean again.

The shape of a surfboard gives the sharks the impression it's a sealion, and we all know they are their favourite snack. I feel sorry for the guy, but the shark was only following it's instincts.
personally, no matter how much i'd enjoy surfing, i'd never risk myself into shark infested waters, that's asking for trouble.

This definately was an awful way for someone to die, but I'm with Johnny on this one. Killing the shark isn't going to solve anything.

A Horrible way for someone to die. I agree there is no way theat they can ID the shark without killing it. Especially when they don't know what species that was. It could be miles away by now.

Chances are that the shark was tagged, they do that a lot nowadays to study their behaviour, and follow their routes. Especially the great whites are popular study objects. If this one had the size of a car, it's a pretty safe bet that it's a great white, and then there's a good opportunity they exactly know which shark it was, and what it's current location is.
I still don't think that they should go after it and kill it, it's silly to label a shark as a murderer, it's a natural thing, the surfer got in the shark's huntinggrounds, and if that happens, you can kiss your ass goodbye. People always lose their minds when a human gets killed by an animal. I remember an incident in Spain, where a toreador got taken on the bull's horns and trampled to death. The crowd was incredibly offended by this murderous bull, and demanded justice. They actually sentenced the bull to death, for killing the toreador. I mean, how insane can you get ? The way is see it, the toreador got exactly what was coming to him. It's too bad that there weren't a few more bulls around to have their way with the lunatics in the stands, that would have been a real good show.

I agree with Larry, it is scary but it is a risk we face every day, it is sad the guy died, but he died doing what he loved. and like johnny said, we ask for what we get when it comes to animals [img]smile.gif[/img] if we swim in hunting grounds, be prepared to get attacked, if we fight bulls, be prepared to have the bull fight back, it is only natures way of protecting it's self
