Three time world champion Mick Fanning was caught in bizarre situation where he was attacked by hungry shark during a world surfing competition in South Africa. The Australian surfer attacked from behind and drags Mick forcing him to fall under water as he sat on his board waiting for his next wave turn during JBay Open in Jeffery’s Bay. Fanning’s mother, Elizabeth Osborne wept as she told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio the attack was “the worst thing I’ve ever seen happen to any of my family because it was just there in front of me.”

“It was absolutely terrifying. I actually got up and walked across to the television because I just couldn’t believe what I was seeing and I thought we lost him,” she said in an ABC TV interview. “I went over to the television almost as though I could pull him out of the television. I just wanted to save him really, but there was nothing I could do.”

Osborne said she believes Fanning’s brother Sean, who died in a car accident 17 years ago, was watching over his sibling. “A big sigh of relief seeing Fanning in one piece,” a commentator is heard saying, on the video of the event posted on the World Surf League website.

“I felt something grab, get stuck in my leg rope and instantly jump away. And it just kept coming at my board,” Fanning said. Fanning said at first he swam away but then decided to defend himself and turned to punch the shark in the back.

“I saw it taking my board away and I just started cracking it,” he told a crowd that gathered around him once he was back on shore, referring to how he struck the shark. Well, that was his brave gesture and attitude that bring him back safely and shark must be uttering that he messed up with the wrong man. Lucky day Mick
