Beaches closed until six pm Thursday…
If you live in Australia’s south-west, you might want to mothball the sleds for a few weeks, maybe a month, give a little room to all the feisty Great Whites.
Last night, at around at five-thirts, a surfer was “swiped” by a twelve-foot shark at South Point, across the bay from North Point. According to Perth Now,
The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development said the surfer was swiped by the tail of a 3.5 metre shark about 15 metres off Gracetown’s South Point yesterday.
The surfer was uninjured in the encounter, which happened about 5.30pm.
Beaches between North Point and Ellensbrook have been closed until at least 6pm on Thursday.
While boats can continue to use the water, surfers, swimmers and divers are being told to stay out of the water up to two kilometres out to sea.
You don’t need a reminder, I’m sure, about the Great White attack on Alejandro Travaglini at nearby Cobblestones nor the White attack on Jason Longgrass at Lefthanders a few hours after (which you can watch here).
It really is the season of the shark. Stay tuned, I suppose, for tomorrow’s instalment.

Word is he talked it up , in a poor attempt to clean up the lineup a touch.
He had a 10 inch cock
Thats why he surfs 120ft waves…to compensate for that small schlong!
I’m bored of sharks now. Can we focus on the Oi Rio Pro now please.
Fun Fact:
The name Oi Rio Pro contains one of the same letters also in the word shaRk, twice!!!
Raw sewage more your thing?
Three eyed fish are tasty..

Season of the shark?!?! Yikes! You know what that means! Heaps of Laird logic leaps!!!
Why does that guy in the picture make me think of SPAM musubi?
White rice suit / processed pink flesh
Hungry mouth approaching.
Nom nom nom.
Interesting to see the WA Govt go down the Reunion Island route, blame the victim and outlaw surfing.
Fuk dat noise.
Only until Thursday 6pm because that’s obviously when sharks stop work to enjoy a long weekend of no biting people.
Literally just got out of the water at rabbits and read this. Feels very fucken sharky out there at the moment
How was it?
Shit
I can hear Gab Medina’s Dr Evil laugh….
“five-thirts”… fuck I hate Australian slang, you linguistically lazy bastards.
Some people hate scammers who pass fraudulent checks, but hey, to each his own, huh?
I just hate everyone else who surfs besides me and my friends.
You have friends in the lineup?
KOOK!
I also hate everyone who surfs including my friends who surf and I also hate myself because I surf.
I hate you too, man.
I hate my friends that surf too. They all talk like there is a jack hammer going off in the background. Fucken deaf cunts.
Earplugs
PREACH SISTER!
And some people make heroes out of criminals… like Chopper Read.
How can you not love our classic simile, “As dry as a dead dingo’s donger”? Alliteration at its finest!
I like how ya can spot Australians cause their eyes are like permanently strained in an eternal squint cause you have far more than your share of sunshine.
It’s probably just the pain of a hangover.
could be too much crank ‘n wank !!
Yes it’s fuckin awful. I’m Australian.
