Surfing with the Great White Shark


Book Description

Shark! The word commands immediate attention. Put the two words Great White in front of Shark & the reaction is gut-level fear. The Great White Shark is the undisputed master of two-thirds of the planet. No other creature generates quite so much horror. Every time a surfer enters the Great White's domain, he or she risks attack by Nature's most fearsome predator. But the actual odds that a surfer, swimmer or diver will be assaulted by any kind of shark are estimated to be only one in four million. Surfer Kenny Doudt is lucky to be alive. Doudt was attacked by a fifteen-foot, three-thousand-pound female Great White Shark off the north coast of Oregon in November, 1979. The attack was the northern-most recorded attack in the world. Shark experts calculated Doudt's odds for survival at one in one-hundred-fifty million. A team of world-famous surgeons called Doudt's injuries "the worst mutilation of an upper torso" they had ever seen. SURFING WITH THE GREAT WHITE SHARK by survivor Kenny Doudt is available in bookstores or from Shark-Bite Publishing, P.O. Box 3588, Lihue, HI 96766, for $8.95 plus $2 shipping & handling.




Sharks, Death, Surfers


Book Description

How sharks have been depicted over centuries and across cultures—and what sharks see when they look back. We encounter the world through surfaces: the screen, the page, our skin, the ocean's swell. Here on the sea is the surfer, positioned at the edge of the collapsing wave. And lurking underneath in a monstrous mirroring is the shark. When the two meet, carving along the surface, breaking through the boundary, death appears. Steering her analysis from the newspaper obituary through literature and past cinema, Melissa McCarthy investigates a fundamental aspect of the human condition: our state of being between life and death, always in precarious and watery balance. Sharks, Death, Surfers observes how sharks have been depicted over centuries and across cultures, then flips the lens (and dissects the cornea) to consider what sharks see when they look back. These refracted lines of inquiry—optical, philosophical, historical—converge at the focal point where we can fix the image of the surfer and the shark. This is the picture McCarthy frames: the cartilaginous companions gliding together in a perfect model of how to read, navigate, and exist.




Surviving the Shark


Book Description

In Surviving the Shark, Jonathan Kathrein describes his incredible shark attack experience. The book covers all aspects of Kathrein’s survival, beginning with the eerie moments just before the attack, when something smashes into Kathrein’s hand as he paddles on his board, waiting for a wave off Stinson Beach in northern California. Realizing it is probably shark, and possibly a great white, Kathrein tries to paddle away, furiously trying to make it toward shore, where he sees some of his friends on the beach. But it is too late, as the great white returns, slams into him, then grabs his leg and pulls him underwater, thrashing him back and forth, trying to rip his leg off. How Kathrein is able to escape and make his way to shore, despite his horrific wounds, is nothing short of amazing. But that’s just the beginning, as he now faces months of physical and mental rehabilitation, all the while dealing with the constant media attention that the attack has generated. Gradually, with the help of his family and friends, Kathrein makes a recovery. Today, Kathrein gives lectures on shark conservation, as well as on such topics as avoiding shark attacks when you’re in the water. In this book, he not only writes of his ordeal, but also delves into shark behavior, and explains his desire to spread shark awareness. There is also an underlying theme of tremendous familial love and Kathrein’s extreme fervor for life.
