Surfer attacked by shark | The Woodsman Hut | Forums

crazy if true

MICK Fanning was chased from the water by a shark in his first surf back home since last week’s terrifying brush with a white pointer in South Africa, it has been revealed.

Fanning’s brave return to the waves was filmed by a 60 Minutes crew at Hastings Point on the Tweed Coast on Saturday as his mother Liz watched nervously from the beach.

But a promotional advertisement for the program, being aired on Sunday night, shows the triple world champion frantically scrambling onto a jet ski in the line-up.

From the safety of the sand, a concerned Fanning tells reporter Peter Stefanovic he has just seen a shark.

“There he is, straight out -I just saw it,’’ Fanning tells Stefanovic.

It is believed a rattled Fanning and the 60 Minutes crew then went to another beach to film the rest of the segment.
