Mona Vale, Australia surfer Paul Welsh, 46, was “having a surf” with his young son at Basin Bay when “a small shark” hit him from below, according to a story on Stuff.co.nz.
He made it out of the water and his wife drove him to Mona Vale Hospital, where he is recovering well, a NSW Health spokesman said. . . “He’ll be out of hospital by the end of the day.” . . “I was pushing my son on to waves and it just belted [me],” the man told the paper. “I grabbed on to the pinnacle of a rock and held on as it tried to drag me out … and I won.” . . .The victim has signed an exclusive deal with Channel Nine, a NSW Health spokeswoman said.
Exclusive deal? Guess if you’re going to be news you might as well get paid for it.
