This surfer survived after a shark bit a chunk out of his surfboard in Hawaii
The 16-year-old grabbed his surfboard and paddled out, as he's done almost every day this summer.About 100 yards away from shore, he saw something sticking out of the water, but"blending in with the reef," he told CNN.Keliikipi thought it was a turtle at first, but soon realized it was a shark. So he jumped up, sitting with his feet on his board, not letting his legs dangle below the surface as easy prey for the aquatic predator.
At first he thought it was black fin, but his lifeguard friends said it was probably a tiger shark, he said.Signs have been posted at the beach to warn beachgoers about the recent shark presence in the shallow waters.He says he's known somewhere between 10 and 20 surfers who've been attacked by sharks."It's not common, but it's not uncommon either," he said.
