That's Australian Mick "White Lightning" Fanning, the defending champ at J-Bay, and, as you might suspect, he was having none of the shark, so he punched him in the back before being pulled out of the water by support crew.

As you'll see here, Fanning was A-OK, with nary a scratch on him.

Jokes? This soon? Nah, it's surfing, brah. Vaya con dios.
