31-year-old American Jared Trainor survived a shark attack yesterday while surfing at Centerville Beach in Humboldt County, northern USA. According to The Times-Standard, the surfer only escaped after kicking the animal in the head.
According to the Daily Mail, while biting Jared’s board, the shark struck his right leg and seriously injured him. He was alone during the attack.
According to the British press, after the bite, Trainor was dragged underwater by the shark, which began to ‘chew’ her right leg. According to local media, the boy said he managed to free himself by grabbing the shark’s corpse with one hand and kicking it with his leg unscathed, until the animal freed him and swam away.
The shark bite struck the surfer’s right leg and thigh. The wounds measured 19 inches (about 48 cm) long — the jaws of a great white shark — and had to be closed with staples, according to the Times-Standard.
Trainor miraculously reached the beach, where she asked a surfer’s cell phone for help.
Trainor’s sister, Haley Martino, created a “cat” to help raise money for her brother’s medical expenses. “He suffered multiple injuries to his thigh but he’s lucky to be alive,” she wrote.
