Story 1: I hit a Hammerhead off Wanda, Cronulla last summer. It was only about 2 ft long and i'm sure the lil cutie was ok

Story 2: Surf was up a few weeks ago so packed a couple of boards, 1ltr of water, a bag of snakes, sunscreen into the rubber ducky and motored out and anchored next to the break. After 2hrs on my own i was visited by a very wide shark longer than my 7'6", it cruised directly below me about a meter away from my feet. I tried to stay out but that thought lasted about 3 seconds, so i caught the next wave in. Now i was stuck.... standing on the rocks with my boat 500 meters off shore....mmm.
So after about 30mins of staring out to sea i see another surfer paddling toward the break, i think i can't leave him out there on his own so i paddled back out, he's a mate and i tell him about the shark, we stay out and luckily no one gets chomped in half
