Surfer Fends Off Shark in Viral Championship Moment
During the annual surfing championship, a competitor’s heat turned into a fight for his life when a shark charged at him. Acting on instinct, he used his board as a shield, fending off the predator as the crowd watched in shock. The shark eventually swam away, and the surfer made it safely to shore, later urging respect for the ocean’s wildlife. The heart-stopping footage has since gone viral.
