SCARED - 7 February 2008 - Horseshoe Bay, NSW, Australia - surfer attacked

Fiona Casey, 14, was bumped on her arm by a one metre shark while paddling out to a surf break in Horseshoe Bay, NSW, Australia. She was not injured as her wetsuit protected her from abrasions from the shark skin. However, she was reportedly shocked and received a lame arm after the incident.

The incident happened on Thursday 7 February 2008.

Fiona said she was paddling back out to the break after catching a wave when she felt something hit her arm hard.

She lashed out and hit the one-metre shark with her elbow.

She said she didn’t leave the water after the incident.

“I was scared but the waves were just too good.”
