Bobby Gumm, 41, was surfing with friends at Newport, Oregon’s South Beach on Thursday morning , October 20, 2011, when the water beneath them began churning, according to a story on KHON2.com.
The group was out for about an hour when Ron Clifford says he saw the water boil beneath them. . . “I saw the water churning up like there was a bunch of piranhas,” said Clifford. “All of a sudden I saw a dorsal fin that was at least two foot in length high and as I saw it the frenzy and stuff I saw the shark actually lift my friend up with the board and everything, it looked like an old geyser or something just lifted him out of the water about 10 feet.”
Gumm, who lost 23 inches of his surfboard to the shark, reportedly made it back to shore uninjured. “”He’s a great short boarder and he said he didn’t want to surf again and he was very blessed that he could see his kids now,” said Clifford.” We can understand why.

sounds suspiciously…made up. 10ft in the air. 2 feet in length high?
