Did you watch the video? The shark clearly was all, "Screw your stupid surfboard!" and after getting hit in the head a few times decided he'd come back for the board another day.

Mick may have retired, but it's that board that's still in danger. (Well, aside from everything else in Australia.)
I have misread Mick as Rick. >.<
I'm going to hang around in the kiddie pool from now on, along with all the other sensible little humans

Not retired,but I think his surfing gear got a bit soiled.

Fine, then I'll just stay on dry land forever. Oh wait, that's not safe either :P
He deserves a kiss. An Aussie Kiss!!! :P
I think he should go and buy a lotto ticket or two.

Nope, definitely not safe.
After seeing the video, I was really glad Mick got away pretty much unscathed. I do not follow surfing, but when I saw this video become a popular hit on youtube, I really wanted to understand how bad it got. At least, from his account, he gave the shark a good whack on the back trying to defend himself. I like how one of the guys hugged him after the reporter mentioned it. :) Then later on, a commissioner mentioned there were two sharks to keep track of. Such a crazy experience indeed.

Video (7min, non-graphic) for those interested:

Meh, big deal...
They canceled the event? That goes against all fish horror movies I have ever seen.
