New Zealand Teenager Fights Off Shark With Board


A fourteen year old New Zealand GIRL fought off a shark with her boogie board after the shark had bitten her in her her hip. She was standing in only waist-deep water. She repeatedly hit the shark in the head until it let go of her.

How would you have reacted in this situation?

Supposedly, people should use something hard, like
this smart girl who used a board, to hit the shark, but at the eyes or the gills
because they're the more sensitive parts.
I've also heard kicking the shark in the nose, but
I've never tried cause... I've never encountered a shark before. XD

(edit: whoops, forgot to add "who used a board." It would sound like to use something hard like this little girl to hit the shark.)

That is one tough little girl. But that is exactly what your soposed to do. Luckily she was close to the shore, if it had been a surfer then they might not have been as lucky.

If I am not mistaken, shakes does not swim close to the shores. If that is the case; then this place is not a safe area to surf.

I would also do the same and hit the shark with a board!!! bleh

She is one brave girl. If I was her I would be afraid to go in the ocean again.
