Pics: The jaw-dropping moment surfer is attacked by a shark during competition

The jaw-dropping moment a world champion surfer was attacked by a shark during a competition - was captured by spectators. Australian surfing legend Mick Fanning fought off the shark by punching it in the back.

The three-time world champion, was knocked from his board by the shark just moments into the final round of the J-Bay Open in South Africa. The shark's fin emerged from the water before the shark lunged at Fanning. Fanning survived by fighting back. See the dramatic photos after the cut...


Officials remove him from the ocean
