Mick Fanning's last wave before being attacked by a shark at J-Bay

Just a couple of minutes into the 2015 J-Bay Open Final the entire scene turned surreal. Mick was knocked from his board and a shark fin emerged beside him. Mick fought his way through the ordeal as everyone struggled even to conceive exactly what was happening. You could see a shark fin but there's a strange moment of disbelief until you recalibrate and realise that one of the all-time legends of professional surfing is grappling with a shark. In the final of one of the world's premiere surfing events. This is the last wave that Mick caught in his semi-final clash with Kelly Slater. He scored a 9.63 displaying all the trademark power, speed and flow that makes the tour veteran a lethal competitor. Sending Mick all the best and hoping this experience at the mythical J-Bay doesn't rattle him too much. Awesome wave, though. http://surfd.com/2015/07/shark-attack... ‎
