You see, this is why I don’t mess with the ocean. At any moment you could be relaxing out on the water on your board before a competition final, and then next thing you know you’re almost getting eaten alive by a great white.

I’ve always heard that punching a shark will make it go away if it’s attacking you. Even if it’s the thing you’re supposed to do, it’s still such a baller move to be able to say you punched a shark in the face.
