SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian surfer fought off a shark with his hands on Sunday, the second attack in Australian waters in two days.

Josh Berris, 26, was surfing with friends off a remote beach on Kangaroo Island in South Australia when he was attacked by what ambulance officials said was a great white shark measuring up to 16 feet (5 metres).

Berris pushed the shark away with his hands before his friends quickly dragged him onto rocks and began first aid. He was later taken to hospital with cuts to both legs.

Emergency officials praised the quick thinking of Berris’s friends in preventing what could have been a fatal attack.

On Friday, a 44-year-old man in Western Australia survived after repeatedly punching a small shark that attacked him while he was surfing off a popular Perth beach.[/i]

Chain punching is the answer!

It has been well know and documented that _ing _un is the only system able to apply effective strikes in and under the water AND in a zero gravity environment.

SEAL’s and astronauts have, in secret, for the last 10 years, devoted many hourse of training in _ing _un and have used it effectively to defend themselves from Sharks, squids and other assorted calamari, whereas American astronauts are feared galaxy wide for the cross kicks and trapping, even the alien’s from alpha centurai are reluctant to go head-to heads with the feared chain punching that the astronauts are know for.

once or twice a year i see a story about someone who punched a shark and escaped. apparently sharks are annoyed by it or something. it seems to work.

if you have a look around you might find more stories of people punching the shit out of sharks, especially in australia.

If it’s got a nose, it doesn’t like being punched in the nose.

In all seriousness though, my dive buddy, said either hit them in the nose, poke them in the eyes, or grab a handful of gill and pull.

It makes sense, but then, I didn’t ask how many great whites he’d gong sau’ed.
