James Eastman is more than just a shark story. A family man, a teacher, and passionate lover of outdoor spaces both on land and ocean... the hefty label of 'shark attack survivor' is not one he'd choose. But, It's definitely the most unexpected challenge he's faced since a quick afternoon surf took a horrifying turn. In this episode James shares the whole story, and we're so grateful he didn't hold back, both in the detail of that moment, and his brutal honesty about the mental and physical toll an event like this takes.

There is however one silver lining: James' wife Chloe Parris – an ER nurse at the hospital where James was rushed – has since founded The Minutes Matter Project. Their goal is to supply life-saving medical gear to remote surf beaches. Many of these beaches are zero-cell-service areas, so supplying something as simple as a tourniquet, will help give shark victims the minutes they need to survive.

A huge thank you again to James for sharing his story today!

Some say Brendan Becker grew his enormous beard to soften the dangerously sharp wit that lurks beneath... Having worked as an international fly-fishing guide for many years. Brendan has taken clients and chased monsters in some incredibly wild places. Having hung up his guiding waders, he now passes on his knowledge and incredible stories to customers visiting the Johannesburg brand of Mavungana fly fishing - South Africa. Now we get to hear some too. Hang on folks, we've hooked a big one here.

A huge thanks again to Brendan and Mavungana for allowing us to record in your space.
