How would you react after a shark bit your board in half while you were sitting on it? This is how Eric Geiselman handled his interaction with what may have been a Great White while surfing near Santa Cruz, California on November 5, 2009.
Eric was out the back all-alone after his brother, Evan Geiselman, caught a wave in. Amidst the commotion, his foot hit the creature as he began paddling the remnants of his board toward shore. “It’s nuts to think how helpless you are,” said a rattled Geiselman to TransWorld SURF’s Aaron Checkwood.
