Florida sure is sharky. Yesterday, at the Ponce de Leon Inlet 15-year-old Troy Zettle fell off his board and stepped on a shark. The shark then bit him several times on the left foot.
“This is the second provoked attack we’ve had this year,” Petersohn said. “He took the wave and when he landed on the sand, he stepped on the shark. It whipped around and bit him a couple of times.”
This is the 14th shark bit of the year in Volusia County. Zettle should be fine. He apparently needed a few stitches and may have some tendon damage.
