You might just get away with this on a Basking Shark, which although very large is a harmless filter feeder. |
|
| |
Other species may well be significantly uncooperative, however. |

If you can produce a video of your attempt to fit a saddle onto one of the less docile types, we will watch it with great interest, as no doubt will the coroner at your inquest. |
|

Presumably you will be satisfied with a simple memorial service, as generally sharks don't leave enough bits to justify either interrment or cremation. |

Leather no, wetsuit material yes. |

Western, Aussie or English? |

I remember a West Australian marine biologist on the radio once
saying "I have no doubt it is possible to annoy a shark." Can't
think why that just came to mind. |

... but "you're gonna need a bigger boat". |

He said "possible", not "advisable". |

Remarkably reticent for an Aussie. Their normal reaction to any dangerous life-form is to poke it vigorously with a stick to see what it does ... |

Funny, my daughter had me post an idea called shark rider.
She wanted to know if sharks had an open locked-jaw like alligators do if you tap their snouts with a stick after they've opened their mouth.

Check out some of the later links on that posting and you'll see that it might very well be possible to get a great-white to let you saddle it if you can get one to let you rub its nose just the right way. |

... hmmm maybe we should focus on a shark massage-bot before fitting the saddles. |
