    A shark savaged an Australian kitesurfer to death off New Caledonia on Tuesday in the second fatal attack in the South Pacific territory in six months, officials said.

    "The man in his 50s was kitesurfing inside the reef at Koumac. He fell and was bitten," Nicolas Renaud, head of the archipelago's marine rescue coordination centre, told AFP.

    The unidentified man from Fremantle on Australia's southwest coast was out with several other people on a catamaran, who raised the alarm.

    A rescue boat was sent to help but emergency crews were unable to save him.

    "He suffered a deep bite to the thigh from a big shark. We don't know for the moment what species it was," added Renaud.

    The last fatal shark attack in New Caledonia, a French territory east of Australia, was in April, when a woman was killed on a beach on Poe in the west of the island group.

    There were 98 shark attacks globally last year -- the highest number ever recorded, according to researchers at the University of Florida, which has been collecting data since 1958. Six of the attacks were fatal.

    Theories on the increase include rising water temperatures caused by climate change making sharks change their habits, the El Nino weather pattern, which was particularly powerful last year, and the increasing popularity of watersports.

    Would you rather die from a shark bite or from drowning?

    That's imposible.

    A shark could not attacka kite in the air so high above ground.

    Liberal media at it agen.

    And I don't tink some Australian person would go to some abbo area as the Australian hates abbos.

    This article reeks of fear mungering liberals. I guess Trump set the guy up.

    If a guy is surfing on a kite 50-100 feet in the air how culd he be attacked by a shark in the ocean?

    Duhhh

    I gess some of you fools believe in that SHark Nado films. Tara Reid is America's finest actors. She's absolutely lovely. She's nice, happy and helpful.

    Fist of all, watch your language little boy. There's children and 40-year-old novices on this site. Guys who actuially listen to the rip current warnings on there local news programs.

    Who am I?

    I'm me. I'm a devotee of Jack and Rexella Van Impe. The Russians, Muslims and China peopel will come together to kill all CHristians unless we as AMericans fight back.

    That's who the f^ck I am.

    Ha, didn't expect that did you surfer boy?

    that makes for 3 attacks on Caledonia this year. a Malibu surfer got attacked on Friday but can't find the GoPro footage that goes along with that. http://www.smobserved.com/story/201...ck-on-surfer-at-refugio-state-beach/1888.html
    Another attack in Washington, can't remember where exactly, but the surfboard got tangled up and guy went up and down the water with the shark.His younger bro came paddling up to him, telling him to punch it, but by the time he got to him he was free of the shark

    So, you know about the clap...from personal experience?

    Maybe the Asian Studies took you a lil' to far with the street urchins in Honolulu?

    Hey how come you share a phone with others? I'll leave very nice, happy and helpful message some day, but didn't want others to hear are special friendship.

    I'll never forget are time when you last visited NJ. It was so romantic. Oww my toes are scrunching just thinking about it.

    Mr. Seen, with all due respect to your Swellinfo.com popularity -America's premier surf predicting website, now staffed by non-surfers from the heartland..freaken cyclists and rock climbers...probably stream-riding canoe dudes, too - clear out your message bin.

    No want you tinking I ignore you, yeah.

    Well you can forget about the $3.50.

    I spent three hours composing a message to you...

    And I hit SEND...

    And you all filled up.

    Wayne Damn It

    Three Hours

    Oh, by the way, all y'all should be ashamed of yourselves for petitioning the Banning of Wayne.

    Surfers don't ban people from surf predictin' site message boards. If you can't handle a surf predictin' site message board without tattling to some moderator type you don't belong in the water. I bet some of youse guys go complain to the lifeguards...

    "Mr. Lifeguard, that fella over there is being mean to me."

    I swear I can totally see it.

    Go mountain biking or something. Jesus people, this lifestyle used to mean something.

    Oh Seldom, I was speaking with your daddy last night. Sorry my topics are all over the place cause I think I have mental problems. And the coffee....it gets me all jittery. Are you supposed to snort the stuff? That's what Big Dog told me in the Atlantic County Justice Facility. People smoke coffee grinds in there. I swear. FRFR

    Anyways, we're both a little concerned that you aren't smoking enough crack these days.

    I know it's been tough but you can do it, SS. Don't turn your back on the readies. They'll always be there for you.

    Ha ha Whoo Hooo .....Swell Freaken Info !!!!

    Hubert, funny you should say that. I'm sorry I let you down. Was trying to get all fired up this weekend to no avail. But the intersection still entertained.

    Hey, remember that developmentally disabled guy on the hover round, that kinda looks like Saddam Hussein? Poor feller almost got run over. Then the intersection woulda been hainted.

    Well, East Coast Pledge Dude (you're on a three-year probationary status. You'll get a full patch from Chavez after that. If you do what we say. Bring me some Chem Dog by the weekend.) I haven't said "Hi," to anyone besides Koki and that just happened.

    I can't fool Seldom as he knew it was me right away. I guess you spend so much time in Wilimantic and a feller gets to know you. Did I spell that place right? Jeez.

    So, hi DPSUP. Is your wife scared aboot Trump getting elected? Ha, oh I kid I kid. Is living on the east side all you hopped for?

    Ah, I'm kind of over the east coast. I want to surf some real waves before I get too old. Though Barry's like 90 and still out throwing buckets.

    I hope to some day live in Kid Rock's backyard as the Pacific Northwest is calling my name. Jersey's fun when your young and crazy, but I'm retired from that sh!t these days. It sucks being somewhat normal and docile in New Jersey. It makes you a target. Actually, I'd like to move to Ireland. I might look into getting dual citizenship as I'm totally Irish and shat. Down with the Italians. Except for their food.

    Oh hey what's with all y'all changing up your names? Oh please nothing was going to happen. Anyone who didn't change their names is very macho. Like, I know who Skeg Legs is and he hasn't gotten sodomized not once. Well, not by me at least. Maybe he hangs out in Rehoboth but that's his business. Ha. Oh Rehoboth is known in the sodomizing community as a hot spot for you foreigners who didn't know. MIS 13 is now making hotel reservations. Shazam.

    How many times do I have to tell you to not get locked up in Atlantic County? How many? Cape May County is the best county to get locked up in SNJ. But never, NEVER get locked up in Delaware County, PA. What an absolute sh!thole.
    Don't give up on Jersey just yet. After all the Irish weekends and fireman's conventions are over and all Hallows Eve has passed, we get our emptiness back. WTF, I'm getting an error that my message is too short

    HWW, you never disappoint. I was just giving you a hard time actually, I was sure it was you from the 1st post but I was just enjoying the show :cool:

    I was nominated for Council of Economic Affairs and for Press Secretary 3 days ago, ya know, so hopefully I get that patch sooner than later lol

    The wife doesn't like Trump, but I'm voting for him whether she likes it or not. She's no Hillary fan either, actually, she could care less about politics. She's fully legal though, so she has nothing to worry about, although if Hillary gets elected, we're all in trouble. That b*tch is cray cray!

    I'm just about 1 full year into living here, and I gotta say, it's everything I ever dreamed of and then some. I mean, I work from home, can surf twice a day every day during the week if I so desire and all day errr day on the weekends. So life is good. Wife is happy, i'm happy, and my dog thinks we won the lottery. He gets to chill with his Pops all day now, which I totally dig. He's going to be 15 next month but still lots of life in him.

    Dude, you got your patch. You surf a lot, you fought a good fight with Stank, and I know deep down you seriously considered driving up to Vineland NJ to beat that pro-union guy's ass.

    Dude, Trump is a joke, man. He's a con artist scammer. He's a bigger douche bag than I am. Talks more BS, too.

    Oh man, you have to come to my reeducation program I run each Sunday. It costs $125 for five hours. Lunch is provided. Come quick.

    I logged on my computer, all by myself, did a great job...great job. And I immediately spoke with Seldom Seen great person...great person. And he told me how much he loved me and what a great job I'm doing and how everyone on Swellinfo loves me and thinks I'm doing a great job. I am great friends with the Swellinfo people. Good people...great people.

    I will bring back all the jobs to America and restore American manufacturing.........even though I produce all the goods I sell overseas.

    I've been against the Iraq war and the intervention in Libya...since the start.....even though I'm on tape supporting both things immediately after they went down.

    I know more aboot ISIS, than the generals do. Believe me.........I watch the Political Pundit shows on Sunday mornings.

    I'm going to build a wall, dudes !!! Even though human smuggling operations are a bit more sophisticated these days than random dudes hiking over the Rio Grande. But he's going to build a wall.

    I'm going to build a big mozzie net over the U.S. to stop the Zima virus. Hey wasn't that a fem drink back in the 90's?

    Hillary is 10 x smarter than Donald Trump. Hillary is not cray cray. Hillary didn't cause Benghazi (compare how many embassies and consulates were attacked during other administrations). Nobody knows what their talking aboot concerning the "Email scandal," and all politicians take contributions and get asked for favors by the wealthy and powerful...that's just how it works. If she does do that, well so does everyone else.

    And who cares if her husband cheated? That's not her. Here's some news for the naive types out there: All famous, rich, powerful types cheat. It's part of the perks. Some get caught...some don't...some spouses accept it as part of the deal.

    Dude, were in big trouble if Trump gets elected. He a buffoon with absolutely no public service experience. He don't know anything, but making shady deals. That's what he does.

    And for those who want something different than the typical politician.....

    Well, you use that logic when you have a medical condition. Doctors are mostly pompous types who think they are God-like and that pisses me off. Plus the costs of health care is all a racket....

    So I'm going to try a plumber next time I have a medical emergency...or maybe Barry. Something different. Oy Vey.

    F Chris Christie and Ben Carson too.
