Shark attacks surfer on Mornington Peninsula.

Shark attacks surfer on Mornington Peninsula. :

"'This thing just came up and grabbed my leg and sort of ripped me off my board and then I don't know ... I just sort of got back up and sort of saw it again and just punched it real hard,' he said."

The sharks are getting out and about early this year. The Mornington Pensinsula is in Victoria and this attack happened about 6pm and luckily the guy could fight the shark off and has got off with teeth marks on his legs. His friends were obviously on the ball. We have had at least one white pointer cruising our coast but the spotter planes have been tracking it for us and most people seem to be swimming in pools when the weather gets hot. The planes are a real help because you hear on the news where the shark is and how close to the coast and , in Adelaide, that is instant news. Have they got spotter planes up in Victoria? That shark was only 50 metres off the coast. Bet he feels relieved.
