Dean Brougham, 25, received minor injuries to his hand and leg when he was bitten by a shark while spear fishing at Second Valley, south of Adelaide, Australia. The incident happened on Sunday 8 November 2009. He told media he had been in the water just seven minutes when the shark latched onto his leg. He said he punched the shark repeatedly before it released him and swam away. “I came up, as soon as I got to the surface I felt someone, something pulling my leg and I thought it was just someone being a smart arse, and I turned around and just saw the big face looking at me. “I can’t believe first of all I got attacked by a shark, I can’t believe second of all that I got out of the water, and I can’t believe that I've still got everything attached.”
But what if we could create new surf breaks to replace lost ones? And what if those new surf breaks had the added benefits of limiting coastal erosion and creating habitat for marine life? Our friend and former Patagonia surf director, Sam George, is working with a company that believes man-made multi-purpose reefs are a viable solution, and they've just unveiled a project in Kovalam, India that proves it. Now, that's a cool project with an interesting byproduct! Besides the environmental benefit, a man-made reef could foster tourism too. Coastal erosion might not be a fancy environmental problem (no movie stars was ever heard campaigning for it after all), but you might not know that a whole city in England was pretty much lost to it and not a small one!

Every season it happens. Midway through the football calendar emails start appearing on football websites across the country, complaining. Not complaining about what is happening on the pitch, but complaining about the coverage. These emails concern conspiracies and always take the same form: outraged rants from football fans, shrieking that the website hates their team and is picking on it. They bellow the same things over and over: “IT’S CLEAR THAT YOU HATE MAN CITY/LIVERPOOL/CHELSEA/ARSENAL.
