Man who loves sharks rides on back of the biggest of them all!
“Can’t we all just get along?”
Rodney King’s clarion call (well, almost clarion: his jaw was wired shut) has finally reached the Middle East. While King was referring to us, the dictum rings true for another pairing:
Shark and man together.
Kelly wants them culled (on Reunion), but maybe he should consider the approach of Iranian fisherman Rahmat Hosseini. Last week Hosseini might have just changed the dynamic between people and sharks.
Of course, Instagram people became very mad.
Erin.michele1: What the hell is wrong with you?! This is disgusting and horrific. I’m surprised you are even still alive with your level of stupidity you have.
sandraphalicia: This is ANIMAL ABUSE!!! You think that it liked the whale shark to have taken it
for a surfboard?
pj.jabines: What IDIOTS would do just to gain popularity.
golddustkitten: You belong in jail!
luvislandsbb: dirty arabs abusing animals classic durka durka jihad.
VanRees: I haven’t been this sick since listening to The Surfers “Alone by a Tree” (OK. I wrote this.)
There were countless other insensitive posts, far too funny to include, but you get the idea.
Maybe these angry humanists are right. Hosseini’s act is not courageous, but rather a barbaric expression of our contempt for nature.
But let’s not be depressive.
What say you? New sport or arrestable offense?
Is petting animals with your feet wrong?

This is animal cruelty for sure. I hate to think of the ideas that this video gives people.
Oh wow, I especially enjoyed luvislandsbb’s attempt at Arabic!
They don’t speak Arabic in IRan
Good call. Farsi
Pardon?
Looks like they are having fun. Good for them
the best surfer having the most fun wins. looks fun as hell. the real deal!
Going by the size of the beast, factoring in the water partially supporting the man, one would assume that it barely felt him there.
Fuck it, yolo.
Looks to go marginally better than Kelly’s boards.
Sure, but it looks a bit longer and possibly thicker than what Ke11y is riding. Plenty of volume there. Did you catch the dims on the rocker?
Nah but the wide point is still a bit far up.
The most radical design departure is the fins on the deck.
Fuck. Crippled foot support?
How do you think he broke his foot?
Genius ….
There is clearly not enough love between man and beast. Hang on, I certainly didn’t mean THAT.
I love petting with my feet.
