Bruce Irons makes huge punt to avoid 6m shark!
On my lunch break today (yes I can hear you all scoffing) I was checking out the “Round 2 Highlights”:http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia/aspworldtour/jbay05/0713_jbay_round2_big.wvx of the “Billabong Pro”:http://www.billabongpro.com/jbay05. Nothing seemed strange until I rewound to about 2:10 to once more watch in amazement as Bruce Irons effortlessly punted a good 4 foot out of the lip, landed and continued to destroy the rest of the wave. After watching it a few times and muttering ‘awww sick’ under my breath, I spotted what looks like a very _very_ large fin popping out of the water. I’ve tried to capture it as an image but you really need to “watch the streaming video”:http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia/aspworldtour/jbay05/0713_jbay_round2_big.wvx to see what I mean.
There are so many possible explanations! Is it some sort of artifacting caused by the video compression? Maybe its a seal, dolphin or surf photographer (usually resemble walruses)? Or maybe, just _maybe_, it was something much more sinister…
