I went down to the top car park after hearing about it on the radio, the rumour mill was working overtime with multiple people telling me a Great White took him and they haven't found the body yet.

It's good to hear recent reports that he is in a stable condition in hospital.

The beaches are closed again today, although with bloody good surf this morning a lot of people had ignored it.

my brother from Sydney called me and told me .I asked him if he had any plans to drive his car any time soon reminding him that thousands are killed on the roads every year .nothing like a shark attack on a slow news day
Get well soon Lenny .lucky boy

The difference is how many people are in the water vs how many people are driving in cars... der!

yeah der nod.the thing is SHARKS LIVE IN THE ZFN OCZEZAAN .It is their home and occasionally they attack humans when we visit it. Storm in a tea cup(with all due respect to the poor buggers that have been unlucky enough to become part of a sharks dinner)
Yep when I fall in I am always happy to get back on top of the water .If I get bitten its my bad luck (you can quote me on that one too)
