But no-one couldn't believe that one surfer decider to ignore the warnings of three large white pointer sharks feasting on a school of salmon at Kiama's Surf Beach on Monday morning .

“I couldn’t believe it when I saw them – sometimes you see the sharks feeding off Shoalhaven Heads or Warilla, but seldom off Surf Beach,” Mr Douch said.

“I reckon one of the sharks would have been at least 12 foot.

“So I rang my neighbour and he went to Kiama Surf Club and alerted the life guards and they closed the beach and were appreciative of the warning as they couldn’t see the shoal from the beach.

“He was surprised that while he was at the beach one surfer totally ignored the warnings and went into the water.”
