Police said Brundler was remarkably calm after the attack.
Despite the ordeal, Swiss-born Mr Brundler said he would probably surf again next week.
“Maybe not on my own though, it will be a little scary,” he said.
I’m a little tired of hearing these stories. When enough Australian surfers throw fisticuffs at great white sharks, it ceases to be an impressive feat. At this point, everyone and their mother knows somebody who went a couple rounds with a shark. If you’re surfing in Australia, you’re basically asking for it. This guy had a tiny scrape on his back? Alright, boring. Shark survival stories are so abundant that to be impressed at this point, I need organs hanging out. Show me a guy with a prosthetic limb, wearing a necklace with the teeth that were embedded in his femur, and I’ll give credit where credit is due. But this cookie-cutter bullshit needs to stop.
“I was really, really lucky this wave popped up out of nowhere.” Honestly, that’s kind of cool. Reminds me of Surf Ninjas. Riding the waves to and from danger, your mission determined entirely by the tide chart. I miss childhood, a time when people thought I was talented.
PS- had no idea Rob Schneider was in this movie. What a career.
