Surfer bitten by shark near Eureka punched its head

565

A 25-year-old California surfer who survived a brutal shark attack said Wednesday he punched the shark in the head until it finally released him.

A day after his ordeal, Scott Stephens spoke publicly about how he was surfing on a popular surf spot off the coast of Eureka. Stephens said he was catching some waves when a young great white shark bit and pulled him underwater. It only released him after he started fighting back for his life.

I am amazed after seeing the picture of the board and hearing the description of his condition after the bite that he is in such seemingly good condition.

I always find it amazing people are so positive about getting back in the water after a shark attack. Pretty ballsy...
