A surfer on the Big Island of Hawaii on Wednesday experienced a dangerously close encounter with what's believed to have been a tiger shark, which bit down on the tail end of her surfboard at a spot called Lyman's.
The surfer was not inured in the incident, which occurred at about 1:30 p.m. Lyman's and nearby beaches were subsequently closed by the state's Department of Land and Natural Resources, according to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. A similar incident occurred four days earlier, when a shark bit a paddleboard, knocking its rider into the water.
