Los 10 Instagrams del ataque de tiburón a Mick Fanning

Aquí van los 10 Instagrams que más me han impactado del ataque de tiburón a Mick Fanning durante el J-Bay Open.

It was a big one..... That is a half of its tail stickin out, not a dorsal fin........ @mfanno

Glad to know this guy and even happier that he swam/walked away unscathed. The only mark on him is a tiny scratch (probably from hitting the shark) on his left hand knuckle. I got an email from a friend tonight who said he clearly saw a shark figure in a wave during the quarterfinals from a drone shot. There were multiple water photogs (including @jimmicane who shot this photo) swimming all day. I believe good things come to good people and although you can't say this was 'good', the outcome was amazing. @mfanno's instincts kicked into high gear and his scramble to face the shark and keep the board between them may have saved him. The scariest moment was when he turned around to face where the shark would be coming from after swimming 20 meters towards shore. I can't even imagine the vulnerability he must've felt. Great job by the contest announcers, water safety for getting right on it, @julian_wilson for paddling to help a friend out and basically everyone there to support. Hey, you didn't surf half bad this week either! #GiveHimTheTrophy!

Today will go down as a day in history... Not only for our sport but for man kind. Every time we enter the water we put ourselves at the fate of Mother Nature... There rarely comes a time when the jerseys, scaffoldings, webcasts, fans, titles, etc. become irrelevant and when our truest characters are shown... today was that day... These two men showed us Heroism, friendship, courage, strength, and most of all brotherhood... Honored to call them friends, blessed to call them family... So glad you guys are alive!! @mfanno @julian_wilson

The #springboks weren't the only South Africans licking their wounds after coming off second best to the Aussies over the weekend. Cartoon: @johannesleak @mfanno @julian_wilson @wsl #jbay #bonusheckle #fridayheckle #itson

Not sure if this validates or repudiates #MikeOlson's study that concluded yellow is a shark's favorite color.
