What was the surfer thinking? The attack occurred in the same spot where a 16-year-old boy was seriously injured by a shark just two months before, sparking renewed concerns about shark activity in the area. Well I guess it’s confirmed now.

In 2024, there were two shark attacks in new South Wales, AU, while there were 19 in Florida. Thankfully, none in either location were fatal. However, in 2023, a swimmer was practically eaten whole by a great white off Maroubra Beach near Randwick/Coogee, NSW. My daughter and grandson were swimming in the area at the time and heard the shark sirens go off. Both Bondi and Coogee beaches have shark nets, while many of the smaller beaches nearby do not. Unlike the endless beaches in Florida, the beaches in NSW are typically enclosed horseshoe shapes, often dotted by submerged boulders and bounded by rocky points of land and cliffsides.
