Mick Fanning charges Shipstern Bluff - video
On Wednesday Mick Fanning joined the Tassie locals at thumping Shipsterns Bluff. Just over a month after his close call at Jeffreys Bay, Fanning dropped into the jaws of Shippies and made good his escape.
Not so lucky was Tyler Hollmer-Cross, the unlucky punter going over the falls in XXL style.

Now anywhere Mick Fanning surfs is deemed shark infested waters. The ledge that wave has is far more deadly!
I think Matt Lee, Craig Ibsen, the (deceased) Tassie diver and countless others would beg to differ.
PS where's the 'north coast shark' dispatch got to?
Would of been better if mm said nuts bazzas
I was surprised the Cape comp didn't run this week thought Tuesday would of been nuts barrels there too
haha except for the spastic waves being surfed watching that vid felt like a timewarp back to 30 years ago when i relied on shitty tv news coverage to provide a glimpse into what the pros were doing in and out of comps.
complete with clown comments from gormless newsreaders and odd context quotes from surfers.
top notch.
hellish giant great whites! what a gladiator he is, faaark
