A surfer who previously described himself as "shark bait" was seriously injured after being attacked by a shark on Sunday, officials said.
Joel Mason, 36, was in the water near Scotts Beach, located about 300 miles north of Sydney, when he was hit by the shark while surfing in the morning, Sky News reported.
An ambulance service spokesperson told Sky News the man suffered a "severe leg injury" and suffered "a lot of blood loss."
Mason's father, Rob, told Nine News his son has surfed since he was 5 or 6 years old, and loves to surf by himself.
"He says he's shark bait, but he's prepared to take the risk -- and he does," he said.
Mason was flown to a hospital in serious condition but was reported to be "extremely stoic" through the ordeal.

I myself was nearly a victim of a shark attack while surfing this past summer. I actually fell off the board but managed to safely swim to shore. And it was my first time surfing!
Fortunately a stranger captured the drama on their smartphone and e-mailed it to me.

Shark, shark bait
Cant, cant wait . . .
Yes, it does sound like the subject of a song by that
band. (And I do feel like less of a human for knowing about them.)

So did Michael Cohen after his shark attack...had a leg and foot ripped off while swimming close to shore after telling friends:... If a shark takes me, blame me and not the shark. He was warned over and over to stop playing sharkk bait in shark invested waters.....
