Yo, Todd… Happy Shark Attack Anniversary!

One year ago today, Todd Endris was attacked by a 16 ft shark at Monterey Bay, CA.

Endris was resting on his board when, out of nowhere, he was catapulted 15 feet in the air by a shark. The shark then bit into his back, clamped down, and shook him like a rag doll. The huge shark continued to rip him apart until some dolphin’s showed up and the shark let go.

Endris’ buddies dragged him to shore with a with a 40″ gash on his back. A huge flap of skin was hanging from his body, exposing his spine and internal organs. Ew.

Surgeons spent six hours, 500 stitches and 200 staples putting him back together. After 6 days in the hospital, Endris somehow came out alive. Six weeks later, he was back in the water. You’re a brave man, Todd Endris.
