SkinnedAussie Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Girl beats off shark with bodyboard I was going to comment about it being one happy shark, but thought it was inappropriate! GIRL bashes "big, grey, slippery thing" when it lunged and wrapped its jaws around her hips.Lydia Ward was in waist-deep water near the southern city of Invercargill when the shark lunged at her and wrapped its jaws around her hip. She told Radio New Zealand she bashed the "big, grey, slippery thing" with her polystyrene body board and fled from the water when it let go. "I showed Dad and he didn't really believe me but then I showed him my wetsuit with all the blood coming out and he believed me," she told Radio New Zealand. Her mother, Fiona Ward, told the Southland Times that Lydia thought she had stood on the shark before it attacked and that its teeth penetrated her wetsuit and her skin. Lydia required hospital treatment for two of the deeper wounds, however she was not seriously injured, Fiona Ward said. The girl's brother, who was swimming next to her, estimated the shark was about 1.5m long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickalino Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 GIRL bashes "big, grey, slippery thing" when it lunged and wrapped its jaws around her hips. Strange, but if I had a shark try to bit me in half, I think I'd remember the "sharp teeth" part a little more vividly than the "slippery" part.

SkinnedAussie Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 They're not Aussies, but Kiwi's. Thus uncidint heppened un Noo Zillan. (That's a little Kiwi speak, for those who don't know). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the largest Great White's are found off the coast of South Africa. It must be a Southern Hemisphere thing, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
