SHARK encounters, real or imagined, were the focus of the Margaret River surfing pro event today with a freaked out Jordy Smith saying he saw a monster during his heat.
South African Smith said he sighted a shark, "a bronzie" [or bronze whaler], during his heat with Brazilian Miguel Pupo.
"It was thrashing around. I looked at Miguel, he looked at me and his feet were immediately on top of the board,'' Smith told Fuel TV.

The sighting came as 11-time world champion Kelly Slater came clean on what he reckons the blurry image was that caused a video of him surfing to go viral.

Many believed it was a shark on the same wave as him in Western Australia, producing the world's greatest drop in. Others said it was a dolphin or Manta ray, or even his reflection.
Not Slater.
"It is clearly a guy paddling over the top,'' Slater revealed just minutes after winning his Round 4 heat at the Drug Aware Margaret River Pro.

The GoPro video of Slater and the unidentified object sharing the same wave at the Box break at Margaret River went viral when released. Slater even posted it on his own Facebook page.
But until this morning the American surfing legend had not bought into debate on who was sharing airtime with him.
Reports emerged early Thursday that a pod of dolphins had been sighted just before the vision was captured.
Slater said there had been dolphins around but it was definitely another surfer.
Margaret River, home of the Drug Aware Pro, the second leg of the ASP World Tour of Surfing, is well known for harbouring sharks.
There was also a major shark alert at the opening round of the World Tour on the Gold Coast last month.
It was revealed that just hours after top female surfers, including Australian stars Stephanie Gilmore and Sally Fitzgibbons, had left the competition waters at Snapper Rocks that a monster 3.4m great white shark was caught on a drum line and killed.
The shark was the biggest to be caught off the Gold Coast in more than seven years.
