A seasoned surfer off the Florida coast was abruptly knocked
off his board when a shark suddenly launched out of the ocean,
and struck him in the head.
Darren Kaye, 51, of Winter Park, was surfing off the coast
of New Smyrna Beach - an inlet northeast of Orlando - earlier
this month, staying alert after spotting sharks near the shore
and witnessing several recent attacks at the popular surf
spot, WFTV 9 News reported.
Though he kept a close eye on the water, Kaye never thought to
look to the air - until, in a split second, a spinner shark
burst out from underneath the surface and headbutted him off
his board.
'I have a scar on the side of my elbow from being hit by a
car and that's what it felt like,' Kaye told WFTV.
'It felt like getting hit by a car. It was really strong and
powerful,' he added. 'They're all muscle, you know.'
. . .
OK ... totally rad.
Sharks HAVE been known to predate the wave zone,
kinda 'surfers' unto themselves.
Here, two worlds literally collided.
New Smyrna is immediately south of Daytona Beach.
Been there.
