Watch: Exclusive “bone-chilling” footage reveals massive shark lurking in the shallows, waiting to “maim or devour” unsuspecting family!

Death in the Afternoon.

We surfers, we brave daughters and sons of Poseidon, are well acquainted with the many risks hiding in that ocean blue. Waves, large angry waves, hoping to drown us. A novel Coronavirus making haste on its saline mist. Other surfers, hearts hardened by greed, hoping to watch us drown.

Sharks, untamed lust in their eyes and appetites craving the bones of our feet.

Etc.

We play Russian Roulette with every paddle but have accepted our fates with steely resolve.

Come what may, come what may.

The same cannot be said for beach going families who think of that same ocean blue as a benevolent mother. A life-giving, life-affirming Pleasure Palace where fun is but a splash away.

Fun or a missing limb.

And here we witness, exclusively, a terror from the deep coming within striking distance of two fathers and three sons enjoying an autumn afternoon five hours north of Sydney very near Crescent Head, that soft but iconic point.

The make, model, of the shark is unknown and there is some debate surrounding. It could be a sand tiger, bronze whaler, bull, maybe even a nurse.

Two will rip a grown man in half and feast on his intestines to say nothing of a tasty child. Two can be petted like dolphins in a marine-themed amusement park.

Russian Roulette with a four chambered pistol and two bullets.

The shark stayed in the shallows for much of the day while the fathers taught their sons the joys of fishing, mothers looked on happily.

Watching them.

The mullet are currently running on this stretch of coast and teeming with sharks. There have been tons of sightings. A squad of bronze whalers were spotted up the beach the other day, a ten-foot hammerhead, Whites, packs of six-to-eight-foot shovel nose sharks, long-tailed tuna jumping out of the surf. A woman had her foot tasted at Crescent Head just yesterday.

Scary times.

Terrifying even.

But we surfers, we bold sons and daughters of Neptune, continue to live the shred life.

Unstoppable and rad.
