Wake up call. Just goes to remind us that we are the invasive species and it is up to us to beware of our surroundings. The one thing that I noticed was that no report said it was a great white. Could be one of a number of different sharks in our local waters.

They did say about 11 footer so maybe a White or a Mako.

The first responders in the water said they saw the shark behind em & thought it was a white... How many Mako attacks have you heard about without a speared fish involved...? Im thinkin white shark. No one will ever know.

Haven't you seen jaws? Some shark expert knows the teeth /bite patterns. Probably left a few broken teeth stuck in bones as evidence. Hope this kid pulls through.
