00:00 I was sitting at the back surfing, going over a wave and I just feel something grab me.

00:07 I look to the right and I just see a massive fin coming out of the water and like its body

00:12 of a shark. I just see it and I start paddling in. I have no clue if I have a leg still and

00:18 I'm just looking at Alex and I'm just freaking out. I paddle in, I get to the shore, I turn

00:26 to get up my leg and just quickly go to the hospital. Just make sure you're with someone,

00:32 make sure there's someone at least in the water. If I didn't have anyone with me I could

00:36 have been a lot worse.
