Mick Fanning plucked from J-Bay surf again after another shark appears

Mick Fanning and Gabriel Medina have been plucked from the water at Jeffreys Bay because of a three-metre shark in the line-up.

The incident is the second in two days at the notorious break.

Fanning, who was attacked two years ago by a shark in the event final, was surfing against Medina when their quarter-final was put on hold.

The shark was moving towards the surfers from around 700 metres away when they were taken to safety.

Fanning, who would eventually lose the heat, saw the footage for the first time when he was recapping the day’s action and was taken aback by the size of the shark.
