Linda Whitehurst, 52, was attacked by a 2.5 metre Great White shark while paddling a surf ski about 150 metres from shore at The Pass, Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia.
The attack occurred at around 11.30am on Monday 15 October 2007.
Whitehurst and her husband were paddling separate skis when the shark bit the back of her ski knocking her into the water. She punched the shark several times with her paddle until it swam away.
Her husband was quoted by the Sydney Morning Herald as saying: “[The shark] literally lifted itself in the back of Linda's boat ... and had the back of the boat in its mouth and gave it a shake.”
After the shark swam off Whitehurst managed to make it back to shore and went to Byron Bay Hospital where she received a few stitches for a small wound in her arm.

SCARED -- 16 September 2007 -- Flagler Beach, Florida, USA -- surfer attacked
Teenager Jessica Riley was surfing alone at Flagler Beach, Florida, USA when she was attacked by what is believed to be 9 foot Bull shark. She narrowly escaped injury when the shark took a huge bite out of her board.
She told Florida’s WFTV that she was lying on her board and heard a splash. She said something told her to raise her right hand out of the water just before the shark came up underneath the board, emerged from the water and bit into the board about half way down its length.
“The whole thing was like out of Jaws,” she said, “where you see the eyeballs and then they turn white and the teeth they were, like, crooked.”
“As soon as it bit the board I fell in onto the shark,” she said.
“The shark started to thrash and then I heard a popping sound and I thought ‘Oh no have a I lost a leg or an arm’?”
She realised later the popping sound was the chunk of board breaking off in the shark’s mouth.
She said it was crazy. There were so many thoughts going through her mind.
“I started to kick and kneed the shark right under its mouth. My finger found its eyeball and it went in. And as soon as I realised it was his eyeball, I shoved it in more.”
She said the shark released the board, but caught her leash as it swam off pulling her under. She undid the ankle strap, swam to the surface, scrambled back onto her board and paddled for shore.
She said she called for help, but no one heard.

She collected her things from the beach put her board in her truck and drove to a friend’s house. They called 911. When they came round they didn’t believe her story until they saw her board.
She said at the time of the report - three days after the attack - she had had very little sleep because she had been having nightmares about the attack.
Jessie believes someone was looking out for her as has a cross on her board and was wearing a cross that day which she doesn’t normally do.
“Someone told me to lift my arm out the water just before the shark emerged and bit the board.”

INJURED -- 28 August 2007 -- Marina State Beach, Monterey Bay, California, USA -- surfer attacked
Todd Endris, 24, was attacked by a shark while surfing at Marina State Beach, Monterey Bay, California, USA. He suffered bite wounds to his torso and right thigh. The incident took place around 10.30am on Tuesday, 28 August 2007.
He was surfing with around six others surfers at a local beach break when the attack happened.
One of the surfers in the water at the time, Joe Jansen, told the Mercury News he first heard a scream and immediately saw a pod of dolphins swim by and a huge splash. Then he saw the Great White shark on top of Endris, pulling him under water.

One of the surfers in the water at the time, Joe Jansen, told the Mercury News he first heard a scream and immediately saw a pod of dolphins swim by and a huge splash. Then he saw the Great White shark on top of Endris, pulling him under water.
Endris resurfaced seconds later, blood "gushing" from gashes in his back. Jansen then pulled the 24-year-old San Jose native back onto Endris' surfboard and towed him toward the shore.
"He must have been in shock because he said he didn't feel any pain," Jansen told the newspaper. "He was talking to us, answering questions."
Other reports describe Todd punching the shark to make it release its grip. Some witness reports say the shark pulled him underwater, let him go and then bit him again when he resurfaced.
Witness reports about size of the shark vary. They all say it was a Great White, but some say it was 20 foot, some say 15 foot and Marine biologist Robert Lea says it was probably between 12 and 13 foot – nonetheless a large shark.
Reports say surfers pulled him to shore and administered first aid with the surfboard leash as tourniquet and towels to stem the bleeding until an ambulance arrived.
One witness reports Endris riding a wave back to the beach with “the white water behind him all red”.
Endris was taken by ambulance to the Marina Municipal Airport and was airlifted to Valley Medical Center in San Jose, where he underwent surgery and was reported in a stable condition.

INJURED – 19 August 2007 – Islamorada, Florida Keys, United States – swimmer attacked
In a few sketchy media reports -- Chris Olstad, 52, was reported bitten on the side of his torso by a shark while swimming his regular swimming route from Founders Park (Islamorada, Florida Keys, United States) to a sail boat about a half a mile offshore. Olstad was swimming at night around 9.15pm and on his way back when the shark bit him. He suffered extensive wounds to the side of his torso.
The incident took place on Sunday night 19 August 2007.
He managed to get back to shore and walked 100 metres to a county sheriff’s department, passing out three times along the way and sustaining cuts and bruises to his head. From the sheriff’s department substation he was taken by ambulance to nearby Mariner's Hospital and later airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center.
Olstad later told the Miami Herald he believed it was a shark.
''I felt a bump and a shake and felt the head of an animal,'' he said.
He said when he got back to shore, no one was a around. As he walked along the beach toward the sheriff's Islamorada substation, located at the entrance to Founder's Park, he passed out three times.
Sgt. Tom Kiffney, who spoke with Olstad at Mariner's Hospital, said the man's wounds were extensive, from under his arm to his waist, with a large chunk of his flesh missing.
Olstad said he’d been swimming there for eight years. “This is a pretty rare event,” he said.

INJURED – 15 August 2007 – Sarasota Bay, Florida, United States – swimmer attacked
Andrea Lynch, 20, was attacked by what is presumed a 6 foot bull shark while floating on her back in the sea during a boat trip in Sarasota Bay, Florida, US. The incident took place on Wednesday night 15 August 2007.
Lynch was bitten on the side of her torso. She said the shark bit her, shook her and let go. She received 17 puncture wounds requiring more than 100 stitches.
Lynch and three friends had rowed out in an inflatable boat to a larger boat anchored 200 metres offshore. They wanted to swim in the bioluminescence which was glowing that night. Lynch and a friend jumped into the water.
One friend was swimming with Lynch when she screamed, and two were standing in the boat. When she pulled herself out of the water, the friends planned to go back to shore. But in the chaos, the inflatable dinghy floated away. Nobody wanted to jump back in the water to bring it back. They had no way back to shore.
"It was like a horror movie," Lynch said.
"I got on the boat and my friend was like, 'Do I need to call 911?'", she told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune newspaper.
"I reached back with my hand and felt all these gashes on me, and there was blood running down my body and pooling in the boat," she added.
Her friends staunched the bleeding by pressing shirts against the wounds.
They called 911 and 20 minutes later a rescue boat picked them up. Lynch was taken to Sarasota Memorial Hospital.
Doctors said the shark's teeth got close to her lungs during the attack, but missed all major organs.
