Shark Attack Survivor Still Surfs and Totally Inspires

Mick Fanning’s near miss getting attacked by a Great White shark was almost too unbelievable to believe. While Fanning’s survival story is inspirational, it behooves a Flash Backu on the amazing profile of surfer, photographer and shark attack survivor Mike Coots, who lost his leg in a Tiger Shark attack in Hawaii, yet lives on to surf, advocate and live life to the fullest. (Via TheInertia).

“To help sharks… it was worth losing a limb just for that alone. And to help other amputees and kids that are dealing with limb loss, I feel really blessed. If you want to do something, don’t worry about what people tell you. If you think you can do it, just do it.” – Mike Coots
