Not a lot of us can say “I had a near miss with a Great White”, but those who do, usually end with, “fuck mate, I was so stressed”.

Not this guy though – he is playing it super casual, although we all know he has some weird brown stain on the inside of his wetsuit… Admit it dude, it was terrifying.

Images have today surfaced of a near-miss that went down back in September, showing a gent named Andy Johnston being circled and tailed by a great white during a surf at West Beach, Esperance in Western Australia.

[B]ut Andy decided to stay out and try not to be intimidated, which makes us feel some kind of way. “I’d rather try to hold my ground against it and not freak out and make a commotion,” he said. Yeah, that’s badass. But Andy’s nonchalance don’t finish there. “It seemed just curious and I didn’t want to give it a reason to chase me so I tried to behave casually and keep an eye on it. But I didn’t know it came up quite so close as I was paddling into the wave to come into the beach with the other lads.”

Check out other pics, and read a little bit more of this brave man with his now-brown wetsuit on Stab.
