    It's the one of those things from childhood, I remember learning about, if attacked by a shark punch it on the nose.


    That, and stay perfectly still when confronted by a T-Rex.

    Normally when a shark goes for a surfboard they believe it to be a seal or another fish, usually when they realise it's neither they go on their way

    I'm pretty sure if you were the BBC and he was Irish, and they said he must be British because of his name, you'd have had a thread dedicated to you.

    If a shark attacks you, your best chance of survival would be to run away. Over 65% of shark attacks occur in water, so try and run away and the chances of injury are greatly reduced.

    You obviously haven't seen the Richard Attenborough documentaries, Sharknado or Sand-Sharks!

    Personally, I'd write a strongly worded letter of complaint to the OPW for the class of creature they're letting into the canals, if a shark ever attacked me.
