Nice "Story" however it's completely fabricated... false.

Shark's Love for Man Hoax
The fisherman who befriended a great white shark-Fiction!
Sorry to be a downer everyone, but I agree with Ripley. I study marine biology, so I know sharks. They only thing I have to prove this story false is the fact the guy is giving a shark belly rubs and he doesn't seem to have any cuts, abrasions, or bruises on his hand.
Shark skin is actually scales, known as denticles, which are embedded in the dermis (lower layer of skin), with their point directed posteriorly (towards the tail). The morphology of these denticles is particular to each shark species, and in most cases, these denticles keep getting bigger as the animal grows (these skin denticles are shed and replaced just like sharks' teeth).
So, if you happen to rub with your naked skin against the shark, in the direction opposite that of the orientation of the denticle tips, you could get seriously grazed and chafed.
Lol, it's ok Antoinette, when I first saw it yesterday, I actually thought it was real until Riply posted those links then I thought about it.
