If you were attacked by a shark while surfing would you ever go back into the water to surf????????

Question

I got this from that new movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I already know what I would say but I just want to hear what everybody else says.

Answer 1

If I were to survive in 'surfable' condition, of course.

Answer 2

If I was still alive then yes. surfing is such an addiction I couldn't imagine putting it behind me. But it would take me a while to build up the courage to go back out. Good question

Answer 3

Obviously it would depend on the extent of the attack but if I physically recovered and the only thing holding me back was the mental aspect, I honestly believe that I would be able to get back in the water.  It is more of a testament to the will and determination of my personality.  I am one of those people that doesn't like to let anything hold me back and would look at it like a challenge that I needed to overcome; to prove to myself and not let something keep me from doing something I love so much.

Answer 4

i would, and there are these new things called anti shark, you  put it on the end of your board and it has like a 3 feet range and if a shark would come within the 3 foot range it would be shocked by electricity

its pretty crazy

Answer 5

i don't know what i would do because i've never been in that situation. i do like to think i would because i have a competitive nature about me that gets determined when someone says i can't or when something stops me from doing something.

Answer 6

maybe

but i would be really sure there was no sharks in the water

Answer 7

if I could still stand, yes.

Answer 8

look at my question, i basically answer that exact question.

(i did) take a look
