25-Year-Old Invents Great White Shark Riding (UPDATE)

While inventing perhaps one of the most dangerous extreme sports invented to date, a 25-year-old surfer was pulled along on a surfboard by a fishing line after dragging large pieces of bloodied meat to lure a shark towards him. At first, spectators are skeptical—until a huge dorsal fin suddenly emerges from the deep. 

Most of the onlookers are truly flabbergasted after the shark’s massive jaws clamped the meat in fury and started to swim away. However, this does not end the adventure of the daredevil surfer just yet. Holding the fishing rod with his two hands, the surfer reached speeds of about 30 mph as the shark started to go back to the sea. 

Unbelievably, the pro surfer still survived to tell the story after he let go of the fishing line after about 30 seconds.

According to Snapper Kem McNair, the one who captured the film from the coast of New Smyrna Beach in Florida, everything was real! He even named “shark riding” as the newest and most risky extreme sports craze.

The shark was soon identified by the marine experts as a Great White shark. This type of shark is common in the temperate east coast of America.

McNair said, "I just happened to be panning the camera across the bay when I spotted this dude paddling around with a fishing rod. It was so bizarre I had to keep watching, watching and it was just a fluke that I captured what happened next. “He was surfing the breaks as a shark towed him along. The guy must be totally suicidal but it was rad to watch. ''I know a shark when I see one – and this was no hoax. I've got friends who can call any doubters up and set them straight.'' McNair added.

I am sure all of the other surfers appreciated the duffel bag baiting great whites into the area. This is the kind of selfish crap that drives me nuts. So is this guy going to be liable if the shark eats another surfer?

If this was a one shot I'd believe it but the fact is it's totaly fake. Look at the cuts.
