“What was still terrifying though is you could still see in the video one of the sharks was very interested in him and continued to follow him."
A kid from Brevard County, Florida, had the hell scared out of him, twice, during a surf contest at Satellite Beach on Saturday when he was surrounded by a bait ball and two sharks, “submarines”, moved in,
Tanner Brasol was shredding in the Gnarly Charley’s GROM Surfing Series competition when “my heart stopped,” his mom Kelly Brasol told local TV.
“It was like a scene from a movie, almost like two submarines coming up and you see the dorsal fins and then the next thing you know it’s like (Kelly makes wild splashing noise) all over right behind Tanner; you just see the thrashing and the dorsal fins and the tails and the fish scattering and Tanner is just sitting there in the middle of it and you just see him freeze.”
“What was still terrifying though is you could still see in the video one of the sharks was very interested in him and continued to follow him,” said mom.
Contest organisers got the kids outta the water, waited for the bait ball to clear, checked to see if the sharks had moved on and got the rippers back into their heats.
Tanner, who’s only been surfing for eighteen months but has pretty wild skills, wasn’t super keen on diving back into the water but figured, life’s short, yeah?
“If you stay calm around sharks they won’t attack. Keep your feet and hands out of the water,” he said. “I didn’t want to get knocked out and I knew I was not gonna get bit. It’s just not that common to get bit. The sharks they’re not after you; they’re more scared of humans.”
An interesting theory and best not tested, at least in Australian water.

When you say “man utes” you mean dudes with inverted cocks amiright?
Go stupid places, with stupid people and win stupid prizes: Nothing new for the idiot left…
“They’re not going to bite you… it’s just not that likely. They’re scared of you”
– Man who was bitten by shark
…where’s open fucking thread?
Someone give the cunts some Prozac
Who? Them. They’re over there always with their saying things.
News flash…sharks were having a mullet buffet. Couldnt have gave two shits about the speed bump. The real question should be how long he got to feast on those tits before he was weaned!? Are there no more real reporters?
There’s a whole lot to like in this vid.
The Mum being a babe, the grom being chill, gnarly Charlie’s methy selfie $kill$ and then Carolina Cardoth-aza wrapping things up in a smokin’ Cuban reporter babe way at the end.
Anti depressive.
The video is not loading or has been removed or my internet is horrible. Regardless, v depressive.
I’m never surfing again after this vid.
I don’t care how scared my mum is about me playing football and getting smashed cause I’m little . I’m going try and get bigger and play footy !
Do sharks like fog?
Where were these sharks hiding when Kelly was a kid ?
They could have rearranged the future and changed the Surfing world for 40 years or more ….
or 50 or 60 or 70 or 80….. depending on when the Goat decides to retire I suppose .
Poor little sharky, being falsely accused and harassed by some kids helicopter mum like that
Luckily they’re never even close to correct.
It’s a blessing
Kelly is his mom
His mom is a fox
Hey DR
Could you provide the voice over à la Turpel?…

I thought this might be about Toledo piloting a prosthetic submarine shark to murder the little kid who had a hissy fit and scratched him at Trestles. I didn’t continue reading once I realised that is not the case.
Florida sharks vs Australia, California or South African sharks is like comparing suburban LA black bears to Alaska or Montana grizzlies. Sure they are a nuisance but probably won’t take a limb or worse.
Need to start killing a few in NSW. It’s more fun than you think.
it’s ok if they kill you too… fair is fair.
Not very woke. LA black gay bears are not a nuisance.
I always confuse bears with hillbilly militia men.
They moonlight as both
I think they should allow Florida children to open carry. Just in case.
They already do, they’re still frightened.
They get AKs in kindergarten. Only gov handout FL allows.

Exactly. It takes a good toddler with a gun to stop a bad toddler with a gun.
The shark encounter was mostly peaceful.
