Shark-powered surfing
Sharks aren't doing too well. Humans have been using them for food and cosmetics (or just accidentally killing them) for far too long, which has left over 200 shark species in danger of extinction. Even if you're not a big fan of large, scary-looking sea monsters that can slice you open with their teeth, it's important to remember that sharks are a vital part of the ocean's fragile eco-system (not to mention that they make for really awesome nature documentaries!).
So, any attempt to bring attention to this endangered animal is commendable.
However, I'm not sure that's what this guy had in mind. The above video shows some lunatic surfer as he first baits a shark with raw , bleeding meat, and then proceeds to take a ride on his surfboard -- pulled by the flesh-eating fish.
Wow. Just. Wow.

That is the most gnarly video I have ever seen in my life. I can't imagine what would ever possess someone to even THINK about pulling off a stunt like that. Not to mention actually going through with it! That has to be the most bad ass man alive.
