A surfer has been bitten by a great white shark and his surfboard snapped in two at a beach south of Forster on the NSW Mid North Coast.
But Colin Rowland, who suffered deep bite marks to his foot and arm, was still able to give the thumbs up as he was wheeled into hospital following the incident at Seven Mile Beach at Booti Point on Thursday morning.
“I’m a bit out of it at the moment, but I’m alive, that’s the main thing,” the 62-year-old said, shortly after landing at John Hunter Hospital.
Police and paramedics were called to Seven Mile Beach, in the Booti Booti National Park, about 9.20am to reports that a man had been attacked by a shark.
