The Dude Who Was Bitten by A Shark Last Night Properly Rips
Here’s an edit of our unfortunate friend doing what he loves, very well.
What we know about 22-year-old surfer Brett Connellan: He was bitten on the thigh by a shark last night around 7pm on the South Coast of NSW, which fucking sucks, and he survived by using his leash as a tourniquet, which fucking rules. And, he proper rips. Reporting on the breaking news of the attack and digging into Brett’s surfing back-catalogue, it become obvious that he wasn’t just a run-of-the-mill wave hunter who happened to be in the wrong place at shark feeding time – the guy’s one smooth surfboard operator. Go search his name on Vimeo – he’s all over it. This edit from about two months ago stood out and deserved to be given some airtime, as a tribute of sorts to the poor gent laid up in a hospital bed. The wave quality isn’t world-class but Brett gives us all a free lesson on making the most of his local beachies and novelty waves. Let’s hope he’s back out there soon popping revs and backdooring teepees like he does in this little diddy.
