68-Year-Old Hawaiian Survives Shark Attack… By Surfing the Shark

Last Monday a 68-year-old surfer in Hawaii managed to wrangle and ride a 14-foot tiger shark shortly after the sedan-sized fish attacked him. According to KHON, a shark took a serious chunk out of Jim Rawlinson's board while surfing in Hanalei Bay, Kauai, possibly mistaking it for a sea turtle. Incredibly, Rawlinson managed to escape the encounter by wrangling the predator's fin, straddling it, and holding on "for five to 10 seconds" while unshackling his surf leash and swimming to safety through breakers. Best of all, Rawlinson opted to continue surfing for another 45 minutes after the shark attack. If the AARP has a Hall of Fame for senior citizen bad-assness, we'd like to nominate Rawlinson's immediate induction. Video of the news report is after the jump.
Obviously Rawlinson's accomplishment is much more believable than this...
I know it’s only Monday, but can we name him bro of the week? Nothing is going to top this.
Lookks like Neptune, Kings of the Seas.
I second that.
Yeah he’s automatically in the hall of fame in my book.
Good point, I say we make him official Broseidon, King of the Pacific Brocean
he’s at bro god status
I’ll second anything this guy does. We share the same last name.
That’s hardcore right there.

How do you defend yourself from a tiger shark…..who knew the answer was to ride it? I wonder if he docked with it, as seen in avatar.
Dude’s a rockstar!
