You’ve probably seen this already…

Australian professional surfer Mick Fanning survived a shark attack yesterday without an apparent scratch, several minutes into the final heat, while broadcast on live television. Some accounts have reported two different sharks were involved.

The other finalist competitor Julian Wilson paddled on his board to aid Fanning – a genuine balls of steel maneuver – thankfully jet ski and boat support was on scene almost immediately.

The two finalists split the winnings and called it a day thereafter.
