Look at it frame by frame you can c the trianglation of the flap, finn, and flap, finn, seems to floppy for a finn. Media Bull, They wont say now, would make mick fanning look like a dick. The finns out of sharknado.
I think like everyone else I've watched the various bit of footage about 500 times by now including watching it live.
The first fin you see is the Dorsal, shorter/wider/stiffer. The second fin (the one you think is 'floppy') is the caudal (tail) fin, longer/thinner/less rigid.
Might change you mind if you watch the slo-mo replay which clearly shows this.
GillyL's pic comparison shows a lot. Not sure how many Manta Rays have fins that shape?
lucky fella ,
looking at the video , it would apear he nor any of the people watching from the viewing/filming platforms saw the bugger come into the area until it hit him up close

on here especially Poddyfish will remember in the 80's I was a semi-pro (ie got given flash gear rather than cash) when a GW chased me for 1!km off Leighton onto the beach. In those days no Mobile phones and Gopro but it bit the board I was testing on the shore witnessed by other windsurfer -- But not me!! I was running and half way to Melbourne!!!
I have never entered the water in any GW country ever since - No scuba, no swimming, NO windsurfing. Have no problems with places at all where there is no GWs and shark dive in places around the world where there's tigers etc.
Mick and Willo's will have way bigger Kahoonas than me to enter "that" water again, Jeffries Bay even though it has an amazing wave. Blown away seeing that and have some personal feelings about it.
A cuddle from slatts and he should be right to go!
And I read the story of his mum watching live on the tele. Can't imagine how she felt waiting for that wave to break to get a view of what was or wasn't on the other side. Amazing escape.
It happend to taj couple years back it didnt attack but swum under him and i'll never for get him yelling "its twice the size of my f'in board" south africa hold some of the worlds biggest sharks and some of the best great white breeding ground to wich some of the biggest gw go back to every year gnarly spot,
but i reacon they should give fanning a wheelbarrow to carry his balls around in done well, what about when it ripped him off his board bloody hell mate
Certainly close and certainly lucky - I didn't think it was two sharks at all, the same shark came back for a second go but luckily he had the board between him and it. Mick and the other guys on the boat certainly never mentioned two sharks just the commentator.
better link of the event and commentary (why the commentator suggested he would just sit on the sled and then ''reset'' is beyond me - bugger that).
True, but did you se the the footage from the chopper earlier,you could see a shark cruising a couple of hundred out past the break,wonder why they didnt call it off then.
