A California Surfer Tells Of Surviving A Shark Attack

Description

Nick Wapner, 19, was surfing with friends off of Montana de Oro State Park on California's Central Coast when he was bit by a shark on Tuesday. He was preparing for an incoming wave when he says the shark swam up from under him and bit his ankle and left thigh. Wapner described the shark to the park ranger supervisor, Robert Colligan, as a 15-foot-long great white with an 18-inch dorsal fin. The teen, a student at California Polytechnic State University, had to get 50 stitches in his legs.
