My fiancé Ryan became a local celebrity last week after he was bitten on the leg by a shark while going for a sunset surf at Trigg Beach on the Perth coast.
Sadly not enough politicians go surfing, on second thought that may cause a shark extinction event. Glad your bloke came away with all his bits and hope for his speedy recovery.
P.S. Can we please have some of that Global Warming in Melbourne?
He's shaken, I'm sure he'll be nervous getting back in the water, but he's also enjoying the drama ;) and feeling pretty lucky the shark didn't do more damage.
Yep, I get it. A friend of ours was killed by a shark in the Whitsundays a few years ago - he was best man at my sister in law's wedding, and we did some skits together, had a ball - and then 2 days later he was dead.
It's so incredibly unlikely - but still possible. Many in the family still cannot go deeper than thigh in the ocean since. I must admit it flashes through my head too, and I had to push myself to get back out deep, and to surf. Just keep telling myself, one in a few million. Do you feel lucky, punk.. :-)
Glad that fiance Ryan survived shark bite hope he heals well & that your anxiety goes He was in shark's home so these bites will occur.as sharks lack love & compassion. Best of everything to both of you
Blimey! I hope Ryan will take that luck and buy a lottery ticket! Of course almost all politicians, public health officials, mainstream journos etc. can go surfing with impunity - sharks will only attack those with humanity.
What a great story, good to hear no serious damage 🙏

It's awfully cold here too Mike. Very much looking forward to spring...
That's where I learned to surf, growing up in Perth. Glad he's ok - seems pretty unfazed by it!
PS nice ~double entendre there; look forward to hearing if he's considered palatable :-)

Thanks Pat ☺️
I can remember when page 3 photos were much more interesting... 😉😁🥴👍
😬
sure it was a shark? .. looks like a love bite to me, Barnett
Hell of a way to say ‘I love you’

He is so lucky. Definitely a brow wipe moment.
Glad he was not tasty.
Me too!
One way or another, that shark’s tooth will need to come out. Leaving an organic foreign body embedded in human tissue is not a good idea.
Yes he handled that phone call well! Still feeling very lucky it wasn’t a worse bite 🙏
