Insane Surfer Hitches a Ride on Monster Shark

Surfing and sharks don’t mix. If you’ve ever seen the underbelly of a surfer lying on their board they make fantastic fish fodder but if a surfer gets bitten there’s a massive furore and a witch hunt for the toothy perpetrator.
But some surfers know that the odds of getting mistaken for a tasty treat come with the territory. If you choose to spend hours in the ocean – home to all things sharky – chances are you might come face to face, or rather leg to jaw, with one of the finned creatures.
So, what exactly was this guy thinking?
Brave man, that, or mental.

Does he realize how stupid that was? I mean, it’s one thing to increase the danger to his own life, but what about the other surfers in that water? What a moron.
That said, i hate to say it, that was pretty cool.

Not so impressive when the shark is fake, and the acting is as bad as it was in the video.

If only it were real. The shark fin doesn’t look real and based on the ending, I was say that in order for this to be real, the shark would have beached itself because the line is being pulled towards shore when he lets go of it and rides a small way in.

it’s not too impressive to leave a shark with a fishing rod caught in his mouth. Poor shark!

So what, He leaves all of his hardware in the shark? that doesn’t seem very polite…

Pretty sure this is fake. I saw it a while ago, but if you look closely, there is a wake on the shark. Ever see a shark leave a wake?

Fake.
What product is this one going to turn out to be a viral ad for?

Well done, but fake!
You can see the churned up water from the boat that is really towing him in front of the sharks fin.

Wow, This is so fake. Funny but fake.

why is that shark going slowly and in a straight line?

Too bad that when he’s a mumbling old man (assuming he lives that long) no one will believe his story.

What a SELF-CENTERED jerk!!! Exactly how is the shark suppose to hunt & survive pulling around that hook, line and rod? Sharks are an endangered species; unfortunately a–holes like that surfer are not.
