Shark sightings are not rare in J-Bay and, in fact, pro surfer Taj Burrow was chased from the water there during a semifinals heat in 2003. There was no contact during that incident.
After Sunday’s encounter, the World Surf League issued this statement:
“We are incredibly grateful that no one was seriously injured today. Mick’s composure and quick acting in the face of a terrifying situation was nothing short of heroic and the rapid response of our Water Safety personnel was commendable – they are truly world class at what they do.
“The safety of our athletes is a priority for the WSL and, after discussions with both Finalists, we have decided to cancel the remainder of competition at the J-Bay Open. We appreciate the ongoing support we have in South Africa and once again want to express our gratitude to the Water Safety Team.”
Fanning, who is currently ranked second in the world, added: “I just can’t believe it. I’m just tripping out.” I just want to let all my friends and family know that I’m OK.”
