0,,6500701,00Glen Lockery was surfing with friends last Wednesday at Shelly Beach Australia when he got slammed by a shark according to The Daily Telegraph.

Mr Lockery was waiting for a wave, watching his mates paddle in, when he was attacked. . . . “I was sitting out the back on my own and just got hit from below,” he said yesterday. It was a massive impact that flipped his surfboard up to hit him in the face. Mr Lockery caught a glimpse of the shark’s girth – about twice as wide as his surfboard. “People have told me that when it comes from the deep it is either a great white or a tiger. It lifted the board and broke the nose,” he said.

And he escaped with only a broken nose on his surfboard.
