A shark has attacked and killed a man surfing off the coast of western Australia.

Any members involved?

Think we're all good.
Pretty horrific for all involved though.

'twasn't me.
We've had quite a few over the past three years or so actually.
They come into very shallow waters too where people are standing.

I'm starting to think Western Australians are tastier than other Australians ... :whistler:

Unfortunately the person that was killed was someone's Boyfriend and Son and Grandson.. not a good way to die either  :(

It would be a horrible way to go. Pretty quick by the sound of it in this one, which is not always the case unfortunately.
I wonder what the stats are in Western Australia of sharks v crocodiles for taking humans because we've lost a few to crocs too.
I think the sharks would win comfortably though.

Some way to go but as db08 says at least it would have been quick.
