John Morgan of Bryon Bay, Australia claims that a shark towed his surfboard out to sea when it got entangled in his surfer's leg rope. The 51-year-old surf shop owner compared the 170-foot ride to being towed by a jet ski.
Luckily for Morgan the shark was able to free himself and disappear in the sea. His board and rope were not damaged in the incident.
Morgan isn't sure what kind of shark gave him the free ride but believes that it was as freaked out as he was.
SIFY.com reports:
"It freaked me out," Morgan said. "It bumped my leg rope and next thing it tangled itself in the leg rope and started charging out to sea with me in tow."
"To say it was like being towed by a jet ski might be an exaggeration, but it was really fast," he added.
