New Smyrna Sharks Get Number Two

by The Editors on April 22, 2009

A surfer from Okeechobee, Florida has been the second shark attack victim in Volusia County this year.

The unidentified 20-year-old was surfing in front of the Minorca Condominium, 2600 block of North Peninsula Drive, late Monday afternoon when a shark grabbed his right ankle, Volusia County Beach Patrol Capt. Scott Petersohn said Tuesday. . . “It was very minor,” he said. “Two or three puncture wounds.” . . . Petersohn said it’s unclear whether the victim went to the hospital, but he was not taken by ambulance.

We think minor is the best kind of shark bite there is.
