That's when I begin to scream': Mick Fanning on punching a great white shark

Mick Fanning recounts the moment a great white shark attacked him during the 2015 World Tour event final at Jeffreys Bay in South Africa, an incident broadcast live on TV. In an excerpt from his memoir, All Heart, Fanning describes lining up on his take-off spot, seeing a huge dark shape behind him, and noticing the unmistakable fin. He writes that the shark hit him with its tail, then dragged him underwater with a tug on his leg rope. When he surfaced, he shouted warnings to fellow surfer Julian Wilson, while still in the water. A jetski eventually retrieved him and Wilson, and Fanning checked his limbs, saying he was okay as seconds later the crew pulled in the larger boat.
