Maverick’s Surfer Pulls Shark Tooth out of his Thigh
Depending on where you grew up, or wherever in the world you currently find yourself, the answer to the above question could include breaks from any of the four corners of the earth. Without a doubt, Mavericks in Northern California would find itself in the top 5 of that list. And if the video below of this Maverick’s surfer pulling a shark tooth out of his thigh is actually authentic, Mav’s may have just bumped itself up a notch as far as “heaviest surfers” go.
How’s the line at the end? “You sure you don’t want us to call 911? Well good, cause the wind is coming offshore now.” I have to say, I’m personally a little skeptical that this is legit, although I wouldn’t put it past any of the guys regularly charging a wave like Mav’s to pull something like this off.

Shouldn’t he be concerned with closing the wound and not showing off the shark tooth? How come there’s only one tooth in there? There is no corresponding wound on the bottom of the thigh? Weird!

This video is definitely real. Judging be the serrations on the tooth, length to width ratio, and my best estimate of pinnacle index, I would say that it was an adolescent 12-15ft female white shark, Carcharodon carcharias.
