By Ross Kelly On Sunday while participating in the J-Bay Open in South Africa, 3x world champion surfer Mick Fanning was attacked by a shark. The attack was captured on video and, thankfully, Fanning was able to escape unharmed. Surfing may be a non-contact sport, but the dangers involved arguably exceed those of any other sport.
