mount it on the wall and you have a story to tell about how you fought off a shark attack. a lot of girls will be impressed by it. what about a new surf shop where you can buy shark-bitten boards and skis, fake or real. usually genuine survivors of shark attacks would not part with their mementos but some of them might sell them for the right price. since there will be few of those surfers around there will be a need to create fake shark bites and scratches on the boards. the concept of showing off a personal sporting item that came out of a fight with an animal is something that doesn't yet exist and if you are not good making up a fancy story to sell to your friends then you can download one online or use the one that comes with the board you just bought!

I just read about a fatal accident that happened with a tourist that paid to swim among sharks. Many companies lately offer clients the opportunity for uncaged encounters with tiger sharks and great hammerheads, particular species which are known to Attack humans! They basically throw fish and meat into the water to attract a group of sharks and they then dive into the water to get very close to them. This is a dangerous activity.
Usually when a shark will attack a surfer or people swimming near a beach the authorities will try and locate the shark and kill it so that it doesn't attack again. In the case of uncaged shark feeding where people invite the sharks and deliberately swim with them unprotected who is to blame? Should the shark that made the attack be located and exterminated? Or should the companies that offer this service be sued?
I am also curious if the customers/tourists are asked to sign before they try this activity that they recognize this is an extreme and dangerous sport therefore the company devolves all responsibility if an attack happens! This is Crazy!!! What do you think?
