As magnificent and fascinating as sharks can be, you never want to hear about a person getting attacked by one of nature’s most ferocious predators.
While professional surfer Mick Fanning was taking part in a surfing competition this past weekend, people didn’t have to hear about the vicious encounter he had with a great white shark. Instead, they had the misfortune of watching it unfold on a live TV broadcast.
Fanning fortunately made it out unscathed, but wait until you see how he managed to fend off the beast.

That’s right. He punched the shark.
Even though this is every surfer’s worst nightmare, the World Surfing League stated that this was the first shark attack in the history of their competitions. But at the end of the day, I think it’s safe to assume that Mr. Fanning is the most badass surfer in the game right now.
