Surfer rides Shark

Rawlinson, 68, was
catching waves at the point in Hanalei Bay, Kauai Monday at about 4 p.m.
when as quick as greased lightning his peaceful afternoon turned into
every surfer's nightmare.
"All of a sudden I felt this
strike on the back of my board and it lifted me kind of up in the air,"
he said. Rawlinson's surfboard had just been attacked by a large tiger
shark.
As he slid backwards what happened
next is as frightening as it is unimaginable. Rawlinson ended up on the
back of the ocean's most feared predator.
Surfs up.

Hanalei Bay...
...was where that 13 year old girl, who's now on the pro surfing tour, lost her arm to a tiger shark something like 8 years ago.
