Brendan Denton, 35, was surfing at South Africa’s East Beach in the southeastern town of Port Alfred on Tuesday, April 13, 2010, when he felt something “pulling him underwater” according to a story on Africasia.com.
“He thought it might be his friend playing the fool with him,” police captain Mali Govender told Sapa. . . The second time it happened, Denton turned around and saw his feet in the shark’s jaws, Govender said. . . Denton wrestled with the shark and managed to get back on his surfboard and paddle to safety, she said.
Denton escaped with “serious injuries” and his life.
