When Australian surfer Ashley Ramage heard his son Damon yell, “Dad!” while the two were out sufing at Archie’s Beach (near Bundaberg, Queensland) he knew something was up, according to a story in the News Mail.
“The way he said it, I just new something was wrong,” Mr Ramage said. . . “I turned around to look at him and saw this big grey shape and a fin come out of the water at me.” . . Mr Ramage said what he believes was a silky shark smashed into the back of his surfboard. . . “I was pretty lucky to get a warning. Damon yelling gave me enough time to lift my feet out of the water,” he said.
Luckily, neither surfer was injured in the attack. One more reminder that it’s always good to have a wingman.
