Also a sick little tube.
We surfers, we wave riders, are nothing if not single-minded. Focused, like lasers, on our Pastime of Kings. Nothing can get in our way, when thinking about surfing. Nothing can pull our attention from either sitting and thinking about sweet little tubes, watching another surfer get a sweet little tube or filming a surfer nearly getting dismembered and disemboweled by a ravenous, frenzied Great White shark in the midst of a food orgy then swinging the camera to capture a sweet little tube.
And let us head straight to North Carolina’s Outer Banks where the sun is shining, the water extra warm and the sharks attacking for it is there we lay our scene.
“I don’t think the guy even saw it,” said Logan Marshall, a filmmaker from the Outer Banks.
The water was warm, the surf was up and there were dozens of dolphins playing in the water off Cape Hatteras as Marshall was filming surfers in the waves.
“Everybody just had a weird feeling” out on the Outer Banks beach Monday, he said in an interview with McClatchy News.
They were north of Rodanthe, North Carolina, about a mile from where another surfer was bitten, possibly by a shark (read: obviously), that same day, Marshall said.
That 26-year-old surfer was in the ocean when he was bit on the foot at about 2:30 p.m., according to the National Park Service. He was taken to a hospital with what the NPS said was a “non-life threatening injury.”
“It was two days of pretty sharky waters,” Marshall said.
“I’ve never seen it that populated with sea life,” he added. “I’ve never experienced anything like that.”
The best part of the entire video, though, is right after almost watching the passive surfer become devoured, Logan Marshall swings the camera, catches a little tube action and “Yessessss” like he has forgotten all about the potential bloodbath.
We surfers, we wave sliders, are… the best.
But no surfing in North Carolina, nor South Carolina, nor the eastern seaboard for at least two weeks, no matter how unseasonably warm the water is.
Sharks.
Everywhere, sharks.
Just how in the hell did he almost become “disemboweled?” Omg the drama in this article does nothing but encourage people to HATE sharks!
David Hogg marked himself “safe” from NC shark attack
If I had a dollar for every tit that said sharks don’t attack humans!! If the beast is hungry and your there your gonna be a meal period, they are no different to crocs or lions in the sense that they know your small weak and full of juicy blood!!!
The title is a bit much. Did you just learn those words before you wrote this so you would seem smarter or what dude?
A shark can swim at incredible speeds, way faster than we can. A shark in the same bay is potentially deadly, and definitely when it’s in a feeding frenzy a few feet away from you!
If I dont want bit by my neighbors dog I dont go over their fence. Oceans and seas are sharks and other toothy and poisonous organisms homes. When you go in the water you are a visitor and know the risk.
Same goes on land where bears big cats wolves and poison reptiles are. Respect the danger cant blame animals for making a living. For humans to be so smart we sure dont use common sense. Maybe we are not as smart as Neanderthals, they didnt go swimming in ocean or try and jog through woods like they were at the community pool and walking track.
How do you know Neanderthals didn’t go swimming? Are you a Neanderthal? I knew it!
These areas are traditional pupping grounds/ areas . Man hunted them out of the coastal territories worldwide in order to make the ocean front safe for humans. Humans also changed the different coastal aquariums( corals, sandbars and other natural Haven’s with warmer pooling) for shipping lanes and speedboats ( wouldn’t want to hit a sandbar or go without an ocean view, explain the grape that used to cover it and harmonic winds). So now we don’t do that( environmentally) and things are going back to normal. Unless there’s another “safety blitz”.
Growing up on the ocean, that’s no great white and it never went near the guy. You have a better chance of being struck by lightning than being bitten by any shark.
Bullshit. Anyone on earth can be struck by lightning. But only a scuba diver is at risk of getting the bends. And only people who go in the ocean are at risk of shark attack. I wouldn’t include people who don’t scuba dive in the statics so I could argue that only 1 in 15 million people ever actually get the bends.
We’re gonna need a bigger boat.
It’s the time of the season for the Mullet run. And when the Mullet make thier way south for warmer water’s, the predators follow to feast.
The way this was written it makes it sound as if the guy filming almost watched a guy get devoured, not that a guy was almost devoured. Poor writing. Also, to say a shark is combative as the lead in suggested is wrong. Combat is a human fault. Articles like this try to make it seem as if sharks are just waiting for us to get in the water so they can attack. Bullshit. I like to hike and there is always a chance if I hike in bear country, I might encounter a bear. It’s not hunting for me, I am in it’s house.
“Combat is a human fault.”???? It’s our fault that a shark attacked a human? And it’s the fishes fault when it gets attacked by a shark? It’s not anyone’s fault, it’s what sharks do, they attack prey. It’s a perfectly natural cycle. And we can exercise our right to prey upon them too. Just like they do us.
This is a stupid piece of reporting. Much of this does not make sense. Dumb arse reporter!
They have appendages. In murky water a surfer on his board looks very much like a seal or injured dolphin. Learn some marine science.
And yet…. We’re here… Commenting. So the crazy b.s. clickbait works and now our Google feed is inundated with shark posts again. Way to go, self. Good job resisting!
Lol
Just say no to sharks.
I personally love the delight in the cameraman’s voice. Epic narcissist.
This is just breathless hyped bullshit getting sharks killed by the millions. First, that isnt a great white. The tail and dorsal find are not that of a white. Second, sharks, any shark, seldom consume a human. The vast majority of attacks are a testing bite of something that looks like food. Lije arms and legs that are black among dolphins and seals. This article is bullshit from the beginning. FYI, the shark never came within 10 feet of the surfer.
Dolphins and seals don’t have arms and legs.
Lieutenant Dan doesn’t have legs either
Funny!!!🤣
I have always wanted to argue this point. It’s so true evzrytime some idiot says sharks mistake us for a seal or dolphin. I’m in my head like wtf? How? I’ve just seen sharks eat or bite anythingn. Mttal, license plates tires.
He’s a satirical writer…in fact if anything he is all for the preservation of sharks and educating people about how misunderstood sharks are…take a deep breath 😉
Yep. Blown out of all proportions. 100% correct. It is the sharks territory.
It is the sharks territory. What would people do if some idiot came skate boarding through their houses?
I would take a bite out of them and disembowel them with my teeth?
What if I told you the whole world is our territory. And the sharks have the ocean, which is part of the world, so therefore it is our territory. So we have the right to fish and spear and net them, just like they have the right to bite and disembowel us. They have the right to attack us, and we have the right to attack them. What’s the problem?

Say that to my best friend who went to Australia
So going to Australia makes someone a shark expert? I studied u der Dr Euginie Clark, google her. Was working off Guadalupe, Mx studying their great white population. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
👏🏻
And I saved a bunch of money on car insurance… Also mine’s longer than yours.
Big fucking deal. Should I list some of my college professors too?
Sharks bite you let you bleed out then circle around to finish you off. There’s no testing bite that’s how they hunt.
Well then swim out there and show us just how uninterested the sharks are in humans if you think that just because they are having “a testing bite” that there is no danger to the tested.
Useless cameraman. More worried about someone on wave than the shark. Surfer was in no danger.
Bad Shaw!!!! BAD Shark! You’re a BAD shark Shaw! Now go get in your kennel!!!
That could very well be Shaw. He’s demented.
Shit Chas… A few of my thirty-something friends are thinking about taking up surfing but with all this shark stuff going on should i just tell them to reconsider?
You should get new friends.
Done and done!
U got more chance of slipping over on your bathroom floor & hitting your head.
That depends. Are they frienemies? Encourage them to go. Are they bros before hoes friends? Maybe tell them to reconsider.
Make the shark sandwich great again.
