Aug. 18 (UPI) -- A surfer in New South Wales, Australia, was able to return to shore uninjured after his board was chomped in half by a suspected great white shark.
Coast Cam footage from Cabarita Beach shows surfer Brad Ross in the water at 7:26 a.m. Monday with a dark shape in the water next to him.
Witness Kane Douglas told 9News that what happened next was an " explosion of water and foam."
"One part of the board went that way, his board was still attached to him," Douglas said. "The first thing I checked for when he started saying 'shark' was blood in the water."
Douglas made it back to shore in one piece, but his board wasn't so lucky -- it was in two halves, with a large bite taken out of the middle.
