A chilling photo shows the moment a large shark breached the water after attacking a French backpacker surfer at a popular Australian beach. Dylan Nacass, 23, managed to escape with minor lacerations after a shark latched onto his leg while surfing at Bell's Beach in Torquay, Victoria on Friday afternoon. The backpacker got away by punching the shark in the face twice. A photo taken moments after the attack shows Mr Nacass frantically paddling to get away from the shark as it lurks eerily close to the surfers.

The guy survived. Some commentator said he’s had worse cuts shaving.

If you dress like a seal or make little seal noises, you are a shark’s next meal

Remember, while the ocean is a playground for you,
for a shark it’s an all you can eat buffet.

A surfer in Santa Cruz California was actually killed by a shark last week. Where’s that story?

Dang this sounds like fun. Might be a better time than what I do when I get bored.

Go down to ATM in South East Houston about 1AM, withdraw couple hundred bucks and move off to side and count it for 30 minutes or so.

If nothing happens there, head to Waffle House. Always hoppin there.
