I saw a guy on The Late Late Show with Conan O'Brien they call the "Shark Jumper". Some long haired older guy in great shape with a wild attitude. Yes, he jumps on top of sharks and rides them.

More here, the series of getting on to the boat - wild.

Gee what hero's. I bet they feel like real tough guys now. They can kill something with their tools. Lets have a competition, unarmed shark and un armed human. See who wins.

Going back and looking at the series I don't see a fishing line and hook, don't see the shark cut up by a boat's propeller either.

I'm not sure what killed or stunned that shark.

I do know that even a dead looking shark may not really be dead. And I know that there is no way I would be in a boat with those guys.

I'll stand to be corrected if i am wrong but I'm sure i read somewhere that the hammerheads are now getting vastly reduced in numbers.

You are right, hammerheads are in danger. I love watching the US cable TV program channel called "Animal Planet".

Probably can't focus with those eyes soo far apart - that one couldn't anyway otherwise he'd have had a good breakfast!

How do we know that they are not scientist doing field study; possibly trying to determine the cause of death? Or maybe boaters out for the day that happened to come accros the shark lying in the water. Notice in the first picture that the men seam to be inspecting the shark looking closely at it. Kach221s response is the same as mine would be, NO WAY would I want to be in that boat. A shark half that size thrashing could seriously hurt someone. Yet these men seem to be comfortable being up close and personnel, as if this isn't new to them. Also notice that no one is looking at the camera, with one foot on the shark and a proud look on their face. You know what I mean; the typical picture of the big game hunter just after his kill. I think there is more to the story here.

If you look closely there is blood to the right of the shark near it's right gill.

O-K now there is an innovative idea and very nice work. I wounder how dolphins respond to the sound of the 110 horse motor. It would be nice to here from the designers, and the builder.

[hansp77]

would anyone like to guess how this one turns out?

or alternatively you can watch all 118 images here

Some of these picture are fantastic.

I have some in my adobe photoshop.The thing is I am far too stupid to get at them. I have tried to down load some and I seem to get the whole album down loading. I cant do it. There seems to be no way of getting at just 1 of them. Any body understand this stuff.

Hans - oops! won't be trying that way again!

jack - nope, to advanced for me! I can't even get onto a forum!

[hansp77]

Jack, for me (I am on a mac laptop) I just have to control click (ctrl + click) onto the photo that I want and then select 'save image to desktop' (or download to Iphoto, or copy image address)
On a PC, I think you get the same sort of options if you right click on your mouse on the photo you want.

Walrus, definately not! I think this guy learned his lesson.
What I found funny(?) was the way all the surfers just seemed to go on about their bussiness, and then finally when they helped the guy back out to the boat they all just floated around while he tried to climb onto the rapidly sinking transom.
From the looks of it, I would have though that if one or two of them climbed up onto the bow, then they might have been able to lift the back out just enough to allow him to bail the sucker out.
Either way he probably would have had to be rescued- no mast, swamped engine etc...
