Aussie Shark Survivor Wants Back In The Water

Aussie SharkWhat is it about being attacked by a shark that makes people want to get right back in the water? Glenn Orgias, the Australian surfer who lost his left hand to a 2.5 meter great white while surfing at Bondi Beach, has spent his downtime working as an Australian Red Cross Blood Service ambassador but he’s looking forward to going surfing again, according to a story in The Sydney Morning Herald.

He told the Seven Network he hopes to receive a prosthetic hand but it won’t be waterproof, forcing him to improvise when he gets back on a surfboard. . . .”Yeah, I’m not sure how to push up on the board yet and hopefully I can get back on and get up.”

Tough man, Glenn.
