Shark Shield!
Saturday, September 20th, 2008
Evan over at Surftherenow posted these pics of a the damage a shark did to a surfer’s board in Lompoc, CA. The attack happened September 7, but information about the incident was just released this week. “Kyle” was surfing Surfer’s Beach when a 14-16 ft Great White started circling him. The surfer got off his board and used it as a shield, fins out, between him and the shark. Smart move. Kyle managed to escape uninjured. His surfboard… not so lucky.
