Description:
Former world ranked surfer, Jodi Cooper, survived a shark attack earlier this week. The attack left the pro surfer with deep cuts in her hand and the shark took off “a couple of knuckles” durring the mauling. The 42 year old Cooper handled the situation like a pro and even warned others in the water of the predator before recieveing first aid to her hand.

Copper, who was ranked 2nd in the world on the circuit during the eighties was surfing on South Golden Beach when the attack happened. "It just came up from underneath me and just bit me, just like in the movies, it's pretty classic, except lucky it was a small shark, a little five-foot thing," Cooper told the Australian Associated Press. "I didn't even see the thing the whole time, it just gave me a good old chomp on the hand and took a couple of knuckles."
