News :Great Whites Shark attack of South Africa in Video


South Africa's Great Whites Shark attack Video

In about 1985, one of the boats at Kalk Bay, the Marion dawn, was involved in the seal cull at the island. One afternoon they had caught a great white, and had strung the thing up from the crane at KB harbour. 11 seals fell out of it's mouth. 11!!! It must have been in the region of 22 ft long.


Do you recall the legendary shark called the Summarine ( the coloured folk caled him/her Spotty ? The old guard lifeguards in the old days practised their retrievals by hooking sharks just behind the reef opposite the clubhouse in Strand.

I happen to be a long distance surfski paddler in the same area and have seen plenty of sharks out at sea, but I've had 2 occasions where they breached right up close to us - truly an awesome experience. In the old days our fishing community was mainly coloured and muslim and they referred to GWS as ' jampies' ( as in jumpers ).

These ads were made on Seal Island, in False Bay, not Dyer Island, as can be seen from the background montains. I distinctly remember Oom Danie Schoeman and Taki Tragakis hauling HUGE sharks onto the jetty in Strand. In those days we called GW's Bluepointers. I find it amazing that we were so ignorant about sharks in those days. Enjoy Video below......
