Shark Sighting While Surfing

[Brad Duffell]

G'day all,

Im up the coast at the moment staying on bribie island and my mate abd i decided to go for a surf. All was goin well until i looked out to sea to find a wave worth catching when i saw this big grey shape in the water bout 20-30 m away then a fin popped out of the water and i shat it. Never moved so fast in my life, as we were a distance into the water. We got bach onto the beach with hearts racing only to find my mate say "christ its only a dolphin". We had a laugh after thet but i tell you what when i was in the water i crapped it hard man i thought no bloddy way . Also went fishing out of caloundra and saw a couple of whales swimming by, the biggest of which did a brilliant jumping show not 30m from the boat it was great. Anyway just some highlights of the trip, cheers,

Brad
