65-year-old ski surfer attacked by shark in Australia

India Today  

A 65-year-old man was mauled by a shark off Australia's most populous state on Friday, but managed to get back on his surf ski and get help for a serious leg injury, police said. David Quinlivan was paddling a surf ski near the New South Wales state town of Forster, 300 kilometers north of Sydney, when he was attacked, police said. Two weeks ago, a 38-year-old surfer suffered life-threatening injuries when he was attacked by a shark at Port Macquarie, 100 kilometers north of Forster. Three weeks earlier, a 52-year-old surfer was seriously injured as he repeatedly punched a shark that mauled him off Evans Head, 230 kilometers north of Port Macquarie, in the 11th attack - including one fatality - in five months along a 20-kilometer stretch of northern New South Wales coast.
