OT - My buddy's great white encounter (video)

Post by Kev. » Tue Sep 25, 2012 11:13 am

The guy in the video is actually my swim buddy's brother. I had heard about this encounter, but not seen the video until today. Life is a trip. I've never seen anything like it on tv or anywhere else. I hope if I bump into this guy someday he remembers what we did for him. Just look at his face. If this goes viral, remember - you saw it here first! Straight from the shark's mouth. Lol.

Here is a link to the video. . .


And a pic of my 307, just because!

I didn't want to brag, but those where my teeth marks on the shark. I ran into that little fella of the SB coast...punched him in the nose, then bit his tail for good measure.

That is a beautiful thing. What watch was the guy wearing?

Thanks for the posts. I had know idea great whites were ever that small. Not sure which watch the guy was wearing. I'll ask. Score one for the seals, I guess (or Darin). As small as that shark was, it will be tough to keep it out of my mind on my morning swim tomorrow. :shock:

I don't know, I think I'd be wearing a steel cup to protect the fruits after that video.

He could have spared a second to flash a wrist shot of a watch. I'm not impressed at all. :raised:


PS: This is cool as shit, I don't think I ever saw a miniture version of the GW. Looks like a nasty lil' bugger.

Morning swim? :shock: Dude, somewhere out there, there's a momma and a papa shark. F*ck that! You got balls of steel brother. But as much as they are fearsome, I would have put the little feller back in too and give him a fighting chance. Stay safe out there. ;)

Looks like he nearly failed his first seal hunting lesson, I wonder where his teachers were?

That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Totally bad to the bone. :thumbsup:

Good thing it wasn't me on that beach.... that bad boy would be on the wall right now. :bananastoner:
