Hobson, who was surfing with eight others, said he then noticed his hand had a deep puncture wound and was bleeding profusely.

"Everyone was out of the water at that point


Good mates.... it is a strange attack never heard of the softly first approach.

Probably more in the nature of that type of shark-rather than a GW which just hits you like a train-apparently......

A mate of mine was sitting on his wave ski and one came up and gave him a nudge as well. I think it was the board that was nudged.
I wonder what the proper protocol is. Do you give it a good whack on the beak? And hopefully it gets scared and goes away, or the opposite. cheers

Definetly smack it on the nose , let it know straight away you are no good to eat. The next touch might be a trail bite on your leg. It's a different story under water when you are diving but on the surface you can't trust them.

yep smack it on the nose. I remember hearing or reading somewhere that sharks have a lot of their senses in their nose, so a whack there tend to get them to leave pretty quick. Can't say I have, or even want to put that one to the test though.

Or you could try doing this...
