It was footage that sent shockwaves across the world.
 
Images of Mick Fanning fighting off a shark during a surfing competition in South Africa hit home for Fremantle star midfielder Nat Fyfe.
 
Fyfe is a keen surfer but also knows the manufacturer of Fanning’s leg rope, Creatures of Leisure.
 
“It was a phenomenal scene (to watch),” Fyfe told Channel 7’s Game Day on Sunday.
 
“I’m so glad he was ok.”
 
Fyfe said it was astounding that the shark was in the area given the amount of boats and jet-skis in use.
 
He spent five weeks during the off-season surfing across Europe and the Maldives.
