Aussie surfer's incredible shark escape caught on camera

Pro-surfer Matt Wilkinson has narrowly avoided a shark attack while surfing near Ballina, on NSW North Coast, in a terrifying encounter captured on camera.The shark looked to be about 2.5 metres longA NSW Surf Life Saving drone alerted Wilkinson to the shark circling at Sharpes Beach.

"I heard a little splash behind me, looked back and there was nothing there, and then the lifeguards drone came down and said that there was a dangerous shark in the area," he said. "The shark had kind of come at me from in front and then went around the back and had a little go at my legs, then last minute decided that my feet stunk or something and turned away.""It could have been either a little white or a bull shark or a bronzie," Wilkinson said.Surfer Matt Wilkinson said the shark was about 2.5 metres long.

Just gives you a shiver down the spine that photo but hats off to the technology......now that is a good use of a drone

... and when dogs sniff you...

2 minutes video no one should skip: Dr. Yan: the coronavirus was made in the lab to target human by the Chinese Communist Party!

I was sniffed by a cat and then it turned away just like that. Incredible escape survivors need more recognition.

Man goes for a jog in a game reserve and the lions 🦁 eat him, odd how we think the ocean is ours.

That is a curious shark doing curious things ya fear mongers

I'm definitely no expert, but it doesn't look like a Great White, Tiger or Bull shark - looks more like a Reef Shark, with those white tips & elongated body. Probably wasn't at great risk of harm.

Go into their territory, expect a nibble or two.

From the point of view of a shark in the water, a paddling surfer looks like a sea turtle, the shark's favorite food. The shark does not attack the surfer at first, but first pokes the surfer with its nose to test the hardness of its prey.

That happens far far far more often than the media report . Also only a fraction of shark deaths are in the news , also lots of deaths where bodies found on train track ( rarely in the news ) The news is not the new !! Tons to wake up.

Shark thought 'food' but then realised it wasn't and just swam away without the surfer noticing.. not quite an 'incredible escape'

Damn! Don’t bother buying a lotto ticket, you’ve already had your luck!!

INCREDIBLE!!! But not really.

Ponting steps in on cricket's ugliest actRavi Ashwin, already slammed for a 'disgraceful and low act' last IPL, had Aaron Finch gone. What happened next came down to Aussie icon Ricky Ponting. Why should Batsmen get a warning? If a bowler bowls a no ball but takes a wicket they don’t say ok you can have that wicket but that is your warning, it just doesn’t count and that’s the way it is. So it should be the same for the batter Legitimately not taking an opportunity to take a wicket.. A sportsmen's conduct would leverage against that! Its not against the rules for the bowler to pull up his run and take the bails off so why should he give the non facing batsmen a warning.. stayinyourcrease If any batsman walks out of their crease before the ball has been bowled then they deserve to be out, end of story.
