Surfer Attacked On South Padre Island
Saturday, October 14th, 2006
Freddy Torres of Brownsville, TX was surfing just 50 feet from the shore at Isla Blanca Park on Saturday when he felt something tearing through the skin on his ankle. He now has two rows of teeth marks on his left leg. Freddy says he’ll be right back out there as soon as his foot heals. You might wanna rethink that one, Freddy.

I wonder if anyone has been attacked by a shark twice? What I mean is like, two separate occasions?
OMG I live in the Valley and nothing happens over here! In fact the waves usually suck at SPI, but it’s been raining alot lately, so they’re probably surfable.
geez, why wait until it heals??
I dunno, call me nutty, but fifty feet offshore might as well be miles as far as I’m concerned…
i used to spend sprink break at south padre. i feel like i’ve cheated death.
i ve seen 11 ft. black tip sharks followed by a 10 ft. female in southbay in less than 3 1/2ft. of water, i called people to warn wadefishermen , kayakers, and what not…nothing was done we have no true safety net out there
what i want to know is if anyone of our valley hardcore fisherman, diehard shark hunters are at all bothered that a shark attacked one of our own in our own backyard and if someone with marbles intends to do something about it?
