A Florida man survived a shark attack this week after falling off his surfboard mid air and landing on a bite happy 6.5-foot shark.
Don Walsh was surfing on Tuesday morning at New Smyrna Beach, Florida, when the incident occurred.
Walsh, who is a chiropractor in Brevard County, had taken the day off from work and spent several hours that morning surfing.

So tell me: Why is the prospect of being in a shark’s house so important on this site? Being eaten is not my pole-dancing entertainment.

Sounds like Self Defense to me, If he wouldn’t have Viciously Jumped on the Shark, I doubt he would have been bitten, Did he use any explicit language towards the defending shark that could be considered a Hate Crime??

There's a cove like beach near there where the waves break larger. When I was a teen everybody went there to surf. It was nick named shark pit. I used to go but never went in the water there. 😆

Why do news reporters insist on inserting "A" every time they report on Florida Man? Seems like wasted ink.
A Florida man survived a shark attack this week...

Yep, but we have the memories. And some of our memories would make most of the young of today envious. Lol

Witnesses reported he told the alleged biter “Get your teeth off me you dirty Squaloid”

Bite happy?
Maybe the shark was just sorely displeased at the surfer landing on him/her.

He’ll have to sue the teeth of the shark as it can’t be the shark in self defence. Someone gets shot, it’s the gun’s fault. Same analogy. Next they’ll be arming lifeguards with night sticks like in England.
