New Smyrna Sharks Nip Two Surfers

by The Editors on September 3, 2010

Volusia Country Florida, the shark bite capital of the world, logged two more bites this weekend as two surfers felt the teeth at New Smyrna’s Inlet, according to My Fox Orlando.

One surfer was bitten in the hand by a shark while he was paddling out south of the Inlet. The second shark bite was also a surfer who was bitten on his left thigh. . . Both men were taken to Bert Fish hospital for stitches to close up those bite wounds, lifeguards say were caused by sharks.

Lifeguards reportedly flew the purple flag, which in Florida “indications hazardous marine life.” We never knew.
