I got to know the only local surfer well when I spent a few months on Savai'i, Samoa. If anybody else came into the line up( which was rare) and acted like an arse he would swim down onto the reef and find a small reef shark which when brought to the surface was then thrown at the offending person.
He also claimed after the sighting of a rather large tiger shark that there was no need to get out of the water as he and the sharks were freinds, as he liked the ocean for surfing and they liked it for the fish. Therefore they had a common interest and were friends.
I'm not sure if the small reef sharks felt the same
