This just in! Eric Geiselman was smashed off his board by a great white shark while surfing a beach called Lagunas, north of Santa Cruz. He’s ok. Just severely rattled. The shark broke his board in half and apparently there is some footage. I’m trying to get a hold of it.
This is very scary because at Waddell Creek yesterday for the Pro Junior, a shark was spotted chomping a seal just a couple hundred feet north of the contest area. Northern California is extremely sketchy and I’m surprised there aren’t more attacks.
Here’s the story in Eric’s own words…
Yeah Jimmy!! Well thank God Im still here intact! I don’t even know how to describe it. Everything happened so quick! I was surfing with my brother Evan and Taylor Brothers at this wave called Lagoonas. The waves were shitty and it was raining. I wasn’t even that motivated to go out. Evan and Taylor were in typical grom mode and wanted to have a paddle. Jay Thompson and a couple other guys were out surfing too. Right before it was getting dark everyone went in except us. I was sitting out the back just waiting for a wave. I had my back towards the ocean looking straight towards the beach to line up when it happened. Out of nowhere i got attacked from underneath. My board broke instantly right underneath me from the crazy force and i pretty much fell through my board but somehow managed to keep the front end under me. I knew right away i was being attacked and sort of just went into panic mode. I actually kicked it to when I was scrambling to get away. I was screaming like a little bitch to my brother who was about 30 yards away from me. My leash was still attached to the back end of my board when i was scratching to get away but, I was to scared to even reach back and undo it! What was so crazy is we weren’t even that far off the beach. Luckily I made it in to the shore. My buddy Mike Lopez and Taylor’s brother Cavin filmed me scratching once they heard me screaming. All that you can see on footage. Somehow my board didn’t get a bite in it?? Luckily it hit me by my fins so I think that might of spooked it… It was definitely the scariest thing that has ever happen to me. Its crazy because it felt like a really bad nightmare. So scary to know how helpless you are in the water when something like that goes down!!! Thank God thats all that happened!!! I will send the footy too!!!

EG: Post White Shark Video
Sure there isn’t footage of the actual encounter, but I’m pretty sure you can tell by the intensity and emotion of this clip that this ain’t no joke.
Cavin Brothers, brother of Tayler Brothers (funny) filmed this and supplied Spectacular Adventures with the first view. Cavin is obviously the shit and we welcome his material on this grassroots, east coast website at all times. Check out his portfolio and blog at colorblindmedia.com – he’s definitely not just some surf video guy. Enjoy, and by the way, when you steal this clip from us, please at least link back to the original source which is this website (that means you Surfline, Fox, etc)

Ainda bem que os que andam na nossa costa são mansos..mas se continuam a desgraçar o clima qualquer dia temos uma surpresa...mas um peixe inteligente chega perto do tejo e dá meia volta como fizeram os golfinhos que antigamente ainda se viam por cá.
Fdx, se isso me acontecesse vendia tudo e dedicava-me ao bmx.

E este inconsciente a mergulhar com os tubarões nas Galápagos:
Só se vê 1 ou 2 mas havia cerca de uma dezena deles a cerca de 4metros. Foi numa "zona de limpeza" que é onde os grandes animais vão para ser limpos pelas rémoras. É uma zona com um "pacto de não agressão".
E depois fui surfar num pico mesmo ao lado
