On the plus side, the shark could be good for a lifetime worth of great stories! The trick is to embelish a little more each time you tell it. At first, you accidentally get your foot in a leopard shark's mouth. The next time you tell it, the shark bites you while you're swimming. The next time you tell it, the shark's a little bigger. Before long, you're regaling people with a heroic tale of how you single-handedly fended off an attack from a massive five-ton great white shark!
Duuude! That's Freaky! Kind of puts one off of the whole idea of surfing. Superhero or not!
Glad the foot's still attached.

Well this doesn't really have anything to do with your latest blog...actually it has nothing to do with it but rather than me attempt to send you this link on Twitter it's probably easier that i just put it here.
Don't know if you've seen this Brigitte but it's very cool....it's an experiment involving little cardboard robots!

We all perceive that you were uninjured by the incident, and we're glad for that, but why is everyone calling it a shark attack? If Surfin' Brigitte kicks a shark in the mouth, shouldn't it be called a Brigitte Attack? I mean, who's the aggressor here? Any nibbling on the shark's part would have been a purely defensive move.
I didn't know you had these violent tendencies toward animals, Brigitte. But perhaps this pent-up rage is attributable to unresolved guilt you may have. You haven't commited any faux pas, have you?
Oh by the way... that reminds me... 259 Days since the Great Ankle Injury, with nary a word of sympathy from Lady Brigitte.
my brother was skinny dipping with a lady at night on the beach. A baby shark chomped on his calf. There was so much blood, and they freaked out, they rushed of to the emergency room before putting there clothes back on. I would love to have been the doctor that saw two naked people come rushing into emergency covered in blood. He spent a few days in hospital and made a full recovery. That one still comes out at christmas though.

Wait, wait, wait... I'm confoozed. Who made a full recovery? Your brother or the doctor?
Dear Brigitte,
I'm sorry for scaring you. I was really hungry, but unlike my cousins I don't find you guys as tasty as they do. You'll be happy to know that this experience has changed my perspective on life and I will never try to eat people's feet again no matter how hungry I am.
P.S. Nice board.
Brigitte, don´t know too much about surfing, i prefer sailing, (no shark risk in it) but i think you must take your watter pepper red paint self defense spray with you next time (gonna be one?)
Is that Franklin Fiesta watching while you´re waxing the table?
Happy Earth Day!
Your videos get me upside down
Brigitte jumped the Shark after her 400th episode? Say it aint' so!!
The last time I wore a wet suit, I didn't feel like a superhero - I felt like a guy in a wet suit. I was lying face-down in a ditch in Arkansas, hoping that the tornado would not score a direct hit on my motel room. A wetsuit would have been great!
I'm sorry that the surfing public (Tweeting) was not all eat up with sympathy over your close encounter, choosing instead to crack wise or altogether ignore your evident upset. Post Triakis Stress Disorder is nothing to joke about.

The last time *I* wore a wet suit (or ONE of the last times) I was at a place called Shark's Cove, in North Shore Oahu. That's where I got trapped underwater in a lava tube.
Don't feel bad. Once as a kid I was snorkeling and saw a HUGE blob shape under the water coming right at me. I screamed internally and moved most unmanly for the shore only to find that the HUGE scary underwater blob shape was merely a sea turtle as it came ashore briefly. My fear turned to excitement and I ran back down the beach toward the turtle who then fled back into the sea as it was probably thinking "Crap! What the hell is that skinny, flipper footed creature running awkwardly toward me want?"
Anyway...glad you survived your shark attack.
I can't have a link to my own website in my signature? Come on, ABC!
Happy Earth Day everybody.
Brigitte, that's an awesome earth day story and way cooler than planting a tree. I'm glade you and the shark are both ok. Will you ever try surfing again? It's said that you should get back on if you fall off a horse, i think the same applies to a surfboard and the mouth of a shark

Apparently there is only one unprovoked leopard shark incident on file with the International Shark Attack File. Maybe you should update them? Then again, if you shoved your foot in its mouth I suppose that would be classified as a provoked attack.
Glad you survived to tell the tale!
I bet you would unquestionably rock at surfing if you painted your board like a cute tiger shark. Mouth up, of course.
HOLY CRAP!!! I didn't expect it to be a REAL shark. That would terrify me, but then I would think it was totally awesome since A) I lived, and B) totally awesome story! I literally laughed out loud at the non-running-screaming thing. Totally woulda been me. Glad you're okay!
P.S. ABC Family should probably take off the pirate smiley. I almost posted it and said something about pirates and shark bites, but then I was like, "I shouldn't do that because pirates are really killing people" and it ALMOST gave me guilt. Smileys should never induce guilt. But it's so cute... Rant over.
