South African Surfer Survives Shark Attack

by The Editors on July 24, 2011

A South African surfer survived a shark attack on Friday, July 22, 2011, in Cinsta, thanks to fellow surfers according to a story in the Windsor Star.

“A 27-year-old surfer was bitten on his upper left arm and on his right leg by a shark of unknown species,” spokesman Craig Lambinon said. . . Fellow surfers pulled him from the water on his board and raised the alarm for others in the water at the Cinsta East beach, he said. . . By the time rescue services arrived, the man was already on land.

The surfer was in stable condition on arrival at the hospital. Sounds like those “fellow surfers” were the right guys to be out with.
