JUST IN: Watch an Australian Surfer Fight Off Shark During Live Competition


Australian surfer Mick Fanning narrowly survived a shark attack during the J-Bay Open Final in South Africa.

As seen on the live television broadcast of the competition, a shark swam up behind Fanning, pulling him off his board and under water. Fanning and his competitor, Julian Wilson, were rescued unharmed from the attack by jet-skis, but not before Fanning said he was able to punch the shark in its back.

“I just saw fins. I was waiting for the teeth to come at me,” Fanning said immediately afterwards.
