A surfer has miraculously walked away unharmed following a terrifying shark attack at a beach in New South Wales, Australia. The monster 13ft great white shark took a huge bite out of Brad Ross’ surfboard, demonstrating just how lucky he was after the incident on Cabarita Beach.
A video shared on social media after the attack on Monday morning, showed Brad in the water enjoying the early morning surf. But the scene turned from serene to terrifying, as he was videoed thrashing around in the water before disappearing.
Thankfully he managed to resurface and get out of the sea a few moments later. Brad was then filmed showing the massive chunk missing from his board.
The beast’s jaws snapped the board in half and amazed onlookers watched on as Brad displayed the damage.
Surf Live Saving NSW told news.com.au that the Far North Coast beach had been closed following the shocking incident.
A spokesperson said: “Just after 8am this morning the Surf Life Saving NSW State Operations Centre was alerted to an incident at the unpatrolled Cabarita Beach which was called in through Triple 0.
“The surfer is unharmed. Australian Lifeguard Service lifeguards were tasked and immediately worked with Council to close the beach and put up signage to warn the public not to enter the water.”
Aerial assets were deployed to survey the surrounding area.
