Worst. Experience. Ever.

Me and a friend were surfing in South Africa, we were sat in the surf waiting for a good wave. I saw a black object that was quickly obscured from view by a 5 foot wave about 30 feet away.

Obviously when you are in SA your first instinct is that it is a shark. It was. It came out of the wave really quickly and grabbed my friend and shook. You'd think you'd be scared in this situation, but I seriously wasn't. The shark decided to let go of my friend and I dragged him back to shore (followed by the shark which was at times touching me). My friend was dead by the time we got to the shore, when the shark grabbed him it bit his neck and cut the artery that goes to the brain.
