A rising surfing star lost one of his legs in a horrifying shark attack off the coast of New South Wales, Australia, 10 News First and Surfer reported.
23-year-old Kai McKenzie was surfing North Shore Beach around 11 a.m. on Tuesday when he saw a massive shark approaching him from the corner of his eye. The beast, which measured 15 feet long, suddenly latched onto McKenzie’s right leg before he had time to react. Though the surfer was able to fight the animal off, it severed his leg in the process.
