Well the shark was at least taught on an instinctual level that humans can be a problem to try and eat.

The footage is some scary stuff right there. Thankful Mick is alive!

MarkGJUL. 20, 2015 - 09:13AM JST I guess that Mick Fanning showed that shark who's the boss.

Mick would be the first to disagree with that statement!

I've seen the video and can only assume from the size of the fin we are talking a big shark here. It also confirmed to me that my decision made many years ago not to go into the sea was the right one - I don't swim in the sea I don't run even the remotest chance of encountering a shark. That said the ex-wife's lawyers email was shark@ (this is true) and she took a big bite out of me.

I was watching it live when it happened and it was absolutely terrifying.

A wave, just after he got knocked off his board, blocked the camera's view for about 20 seconds so you couldn't tell what was happening, whether Mick was dead or alive.

I was so glad to see him climb up on that jet ski alive unharmed.

This was the last thing anyone expected to see.
