Australian sorry for 'surfing' on dead whale

By Agence France-Presse in Sydney | China Daily | Updated: 2014-11-04 07:52

An Australian who climbed on a dead whale as it floated offshore, attracting the attention of large sharks, apologized on Monday for his "idiot" act.

The man dived off a boat and climbed on the humpback, which appeared to have already been ravaged by sharks, south of Perth in Western Australia State on Saturday.

"I was out on the boat with the boys and one of my mates said it would be pretty funny if you go out and surf the whale, so I did it," the 26-year-old, who wanted to be known only by his first name of Harrison, told Channel 7.

After hauling himself on the floating carcass, Harrison could see it was being circled by sharks. His friends realized the danger and called him to comeback.

"They were too busy chomping on the whale so it wasn't too bad," he said of the sharks, which included a great white.

But he said he would definitely not perform such a stunt again, admitting he could have lost his life.

"I've done it, I don't need to do it again. Definitely it was a stupid act, didn't mean to disrespect anyone," he said. "Mum thinks I'm an idiot. Dad's not too proud either."

The whale has now washed up at Scarborough Beach, which has been closed because lifesavers spotted four large sharks in the area.

Experts said the man's behavior could have had dire consequences for him and anyone who had gone to his assistance.

"It is very risky to enter the water around that type of large food source because even if you can't see sharks, it's highly likely the carcass is attracting them from a long way away," Tony Cappelluti from the Fisheries Department told The West Australian.

"Irrespective of some type of adrenaline rush, or whatever you're trying to get out of performing that type of act, it's highly risky."

Experts say attacks by sharks, which are common in Australian waters, are increasing as water sports become more popular.
