A shark attack off California coast look at its bite,
A California surfer narrowly escaped injury on Saturday after a great white shark bit off a chunk of her board off the state’s central coast. Elinor Dempsey, 54, of Los Osos, California, said she was surfing at Morro Strand State Beach, just north of Morro Bay, around 10 a.m. when a shark swam under her board and chomped on it, leaving a 14-inch wide bite mark. Officials closed the beach for 72 hours and posted warning signs at nearby beaches, said beach’s supervising ranger, Lisa Remington. Experts will analyze the bite mark and teeth pattern to determine the size of the shark. A U.S. Fish and Wildlife biologist who happened to be in the area and examined the board estimated that the shark was a 6-foot-long adult male. Dempsey told the San Luis Obispo Tribune that she was shaken by her close encounter with the shark and might take a break from surfing. "I'll be staying close in from now on," she said. "I'll probably be on my boogie board for a little while."
