Pro surfer critically injured after being mauled by shark on NSW south coast

the term "pro surfer" is thrown around pretty loosely these days.

 

Agreed but if you get paid in any way you are a "pro". Don't need to be on the WSL to be pro.
Regardless, off topic.
Hope this young bloke makes it. Ripped his thigh right off apparently right to the bone. Thoughts and prayers with him

 

Meanwhile, Ocearch goes around the US chumming surf breaks in the name of research.

 

can you prove that they're chumming surf breaks or is this just wild speculation

 

They've been chumming a local break for the last week now here in NE FL. They've been camped out about 1/4 mile north from the actual break, but it's been ENE swell, NE wind, and N to S current the entire time.

That one dude on the white longboard has some serious jazz hands.

+1 to you. that's whack.

 

I have never heard of a Bronze Whaler. I thought it was referring to a heavy set jersey woman on the beach. Glad the dude is in stable condition!

 

While I surf, my stocks and investments pay me money.
I am, therefore, a pro-surfer.
