A surfer from Western Australia was reportedly knocked off his board and mauled by a shark while surfing Conspicious Beach near Walpole, according to the Hearald Sun.
The surfer’s leg is believed to have been badly savaged in the attack. It is understood he was bitten close to his knee, but his injuries were not believed to be life-threatening yesterday. . . An ambulance crew was sent from Walpole to tend the victim’s wounds before rushing him to Albany Hospital, which is about one hour’s drive further south.
“Monstrous” great whites have been apparently spotted in the area. West Oz surfers are tough.
