"The interviews delve into the shocking details of what happened and why many of the surfers have continued to ride the waves after their attacks."
As you well know, one of the most successful ventures in proud history of cable television has been the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week. The mid-tier educational network was nothing but a click-through between Country Music Television and E! once starring Kelly Slater’s biggest fran (friend-fan) Sal Maskekela.
But then Discovery discovered sharks and the rest, as they say, is history.
Well, similarly ignored NatGeo (National Geographic) has decided to catch some of that white lightening and launched its very own SharkFest.
Tonight, Sunday, August 2. at 8 p.m./7 p.m. CST with an encore presentation on Nat Geo WILD on Thursday, August 13, at 9 p.m./8 p.m. CST, “Sharks vs. Surfers” will air.
The episode will detail the daily humiliations of prancing about in the man-eating beasts’ watery domain. The indignities etc. Also, “The interviews delve into the shocking details of what happened and why many of the surfers have continued to ride the waves after their attacks.”
Lastly, the special will include insights from marine biologists Ryan Johnson and Dr. Stephen Kajiura to provide context on just how likely shark attacks are while surfing at these popular, shark-filled spots.
Derek, Longtom and I recently discussed sharks ourselves on Dirty Water (Listen here later). I discussed too much but only because I become overly excited anytime Longtom is on the screen.
I love him very much but will try to control my mouth-running glee next time.

Chas, when you were running from meth and heroin addicts in the backwoods of bumbfuck Oregon growing up, did you think “When I’m older I want to write countless shark articles on the internet that no one will ever read?” as you dodged used needles, logging trucks, and banana slugs?
He did pretty well but he couldn’t dodge the neck tatt. It’s a bumfuck staple item.
Some of them at birth, I hear.
So true. Am I bound for a face tat?
It’s all good mate we all have some tattoos we regret. Imagine if you got one of them coy fish or the waves or something those are fucked as.
No! But those folk didn’t think about their horrible end either.

I bet great white sharks have the greatest “Yo mama” jokes. Must be greatestly uncomfortable for murfers.
yes!! LT, how are the Murphers fairing in the Ballina region, or what ever that gentrified shire is called? Are they fearing for sharks and afraid of getting tipped over during stand up canoe “reverse warrior”
i’d like to know what slaters chinese gf from the people’s republic of san clemente thinks about tik tok being banned.
Chas should interview her. Kelly will approve if Chas mentions him by name on ten or more instances, with bonus points given every time he says “greatest of all time”.
