Kayaker tells of horror shark attack

626

A kayaker is lucky to be alive after being attacked by a four-metre great white shark in the ocean off Victoria's southwest coast. Rhys Gadsden was out for a morning paddle off Portland on Friday when he says a great white shark appeared from the deep and wrapped its jaws around his sea kayak, leaving giant puncture marks.

The 27-year-old was flipped off the kayak and spent a terrifying 15 minutes in the water by his kayak desperately hoping he would not be eaten alive. 'I grabbed my oars, hit it in the head probably five to six times and it released it,' the Portland man told the Nine Network.
