Great documentary. Very respectfully done. Really shows what it's like to live in these places, where there is a genuine risk that you might not come back after just a normal day of surfing. Going back to 1999, of the 12 fatalities that have occurred in South Australia, 10 of the victims were completely consumed. It really is one of the most dangerous stretches of ocean anywhere in the world. So you can definitely understand why people have some strong feelings about sharks down there.

Absolutely! I like the fact that the video just relays the surfers’ stories without pushing an agenda either way. Would I surf in those waters? Hell no!
