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.
