by The Editors on February 28, 2009

According to a story in the Heraldsun.com.au a 15-year-old boy was surfing with his father March 1, 2009 at about 6:45 AM at the Northern end of Avalon Beach north of Syndey when he was hit by a shark.

“The father and son were out surfing this morning. They are members of our surf club as well,” Mr Miller told ABC Radio. . .”It got him around the top of his leg and his calf muscle and the father came in and dragged him in. . . “They’ve just taken him to hospital in a helicopter.”

This is the third serious shark attack in Sydney in less than three weeks.
