A surfer was bitten by a shark for the first time a couple of weeks ago down here on Bantham Beach.
I reckon it was a Great White but the equivalent of The Mayor in Jaws said it was a Smoothound but I think he is gonna need a bigger boat.

Smoothounds dont even have teeth . Lately we been catching the odd stingray very locally , people seem very surprised they are in close where people are swimming

See posts 24 & 37 I know Tope have teeth but not sure about Smoothounds, maybe it was a small Tope.

[MENTION=15618]helipilot[/MENTION] pictures are superb, know how tricky underwater photography is and these are v.pro. You've got a talent there, Sir!

Thanks...just lucky enough to be living in the USA right now which makes these trips easy/ relatively cheap to do... only downside is that I had to give up my season ticket

Ha you do actually get used to it but it is a rush. The shark actually bumped into my camera dome (which I hide behind!) in this picture and knocked a tooth out (you can see the loose one). I managed to pick it up and have it as a souvenir!
