Im from Australia and havent heard that one yet.
There was a shark attack about 2 months ago in Adelaide of a guy out in a boat.
He was out there hanging around with about 4 mates when he was attacked.
His mate jumped overboard for a swim then got back in, then he jumped overboard for a swim and got dragged under.
There were rumours that he was wakeboarding or wakesurfing, but this wasnt the truth at the time. (as far as the media and his friends reported)
They were out in the boat to go skurfing at the time, but the attack happened when they pulled up to have a swim.
I can tell you he definetly didnt get thrown from the water and caught.
He was swimming next to the boat and his friends said all of a sudden he started moving sideways really quickly and dragged under the boat.
There was a little more to it and rumours of two big white sharks sighted that afternoon in the area.
South Australia is quite well known for Jaws sized white pointers along with South Africa, but our sharks dont jump from the water like the ones that live off the coast of South Africa.
