This is the incredible moment Australian surfer Mick Fanning was attacked by a shark in South Africa during the J-Bay Open.
The world No 3 was in the final with fellow Australian Julian Wilson when he was knocked off his board by a shark.
Fanning appeared to punch the shark several times as the shark pursued its prey for around 15 seconds.
The safety boat and one of the event jetskis raced in; Fanning boarded the latter and was taken to safety.
Although not hurt, the Australian was shaken by the incident, in which his legrope was bitten clean through.
