New Smyrna’s 2nd Bite of the Year!

A Florida man became Volusia County’s second shark bite victim of the year.

The unidentified 20-year-old was surfing late Monday afternoon when a shark grabbed his right ankle leaving him with some puncture wounds. He’ll live, but still…

Last month, a 17-year-old girl received the honor of being the first shark bite victim of 2009 when she was bit on the foot while surfing south of the South Jetty on March 19.

FYI: April is a prime month for bites because of murky water, good waves and lots of bait fish in the surf.
