As big as a king-sized mattress!
Yesterday morning, over an agreeable breakfast of black coffee and cigarettes, a conversation was overhead at a nearby table.
A man, a drone enthusiast, was showing another man the drone vision he’d just captured of an eight-foot Great White giving hell to a tuna just off the back of the Icebergs pool at Bondi Beach, and near a swimmer.
“It came up from the bottom, as you can see from the footage, and has hit what I think is a tuna. On a couple of occasions now over the last year we have potentially saved a couple of lives and that’s all I want out of all this.”
Jason Iggleden, who is the creator of Drone Shark App and who once approached BeachGrit for help publicising his app but whose email was lost in the rain of other projects, rightly rebuffed a request for the footage.
He did tell the Daily Mail, who crowned their story with the headline, The terrifying moment a massive two-metre great white shark is filmed devouring a tuna just 20 metres from swimmers at Bondi Beach,
“It came up from the bottom, as you can see from the footage, and has hit what I think is a tuna. On a couple of occasions now over the last year we have potentially saved a couple of lives and that’s all I want out of all this.”
It’s the sorta clip that should send shivers up spines etc but, dunno, I feel reassured. I surf the joint every day and always make it home in time to put on the coffee pot.
The Great White is the cherub of the sea?
Or the ocean’s poodle?
And does two-metres (eight feet-ish) really qualify as “massive”?
Why are they called drones?
I shall work one up and offer it on Spreadshirt or similar.
Never watched it.
I’m more of an eggs and coffee man, hydration and surf then chop wood kind if guy but yeah I see the temptation.
What about a long day of surfing and then a cigarette followed by a cry wank?
Is that some famous surfer I should know?
No doubt, I get the G-Pen Gio from Eaze. Its so weird to get deliveries to your house like you would a pizza.
They did do the Floatopia a couple years ago on M. Bay. There was a loop hole in the law that you can drink on a boat but not land, so a couple thousand people showed up with tubes and got hammered. Cops shut it down when someone drowned beneath the throngs of Zonies.

Tuna come that close to the beach in Sydney? I am moving!!
No, was Aussie salmon (like an overgrown mullet)
Thanks, for saving me from uprooting my life. When I lived there I did not fish much, years later I realize I missed out.
Herring actually cobba
About time I posted this again for the youngsters.

Man’s best friend ..
8 feet don’t qualify as massive, it’s only a pup
Bloody fun police . Stop any cheap communal fun and make these places lonely , desperate and quiet so sad people can jump off them and sink to the bottom ……
I noticed that this Great White Hipster from Bondi was not wearing a leash . Is he now ready to leave the School ( college more likely in this part of Sydney ) and move to Byron ?
Strippers ok though?
The thought of rocking up to Kings Cross to see a strip show sober has not entered my mind since the age of 15 when I actually went ,totally sober,and realized something was terribly missing ….
Is 2 meters massive? This is the Daily Mail Derek, UK journalism at its finest – flagged as fake news by Microsoft and banned by Wikipedia as an unreliable source.
The Daily Mail sounds about as reputable as the Nine News ……?
It has a compelling website. It drags me in every thirty minutes or so.
And by tuna, does he mean salmon, of the common Australian variety, not the delicious Atlantic kind?
I’m such a glutton for the buzz that it has shown me that I’m not allowed to dabble in pharmaceuticals. There is no end.
