Oregon Surfer Doug Niblack Hangs 10 With Shark
Doug Niblack is a former skeptic. An avid surfer for six years, he used to joke around with his friends by saying, ”Sharks are only a myth.” But after finding himself surfing not on his 12-foot long board, he said, but instead on the back of a 4,000-pound Great White Shark, he is skeptical no more.
Niblack, 23, was out surfing with friends on Monday in Seaside, Ore., in a spot locals affectionately call “The Cove.” The ever-ambitious surfer spotted fresher waves further out and, of course, paddled out to ride the waves.
The next thing he knew, he was, as he recalled, three feet up in the air.
“The shark was underneath, and when I landed in the water I thought it hit rock,” Niblack told ABC News. “I couldn’t possibly imagine that it was something like that beneath.”
