A 31-year-old surfer is recovering after a shark attacked him at a beach in Northern California.
Jared Trainor told the Times-Standard newspaper that he paddled past the first set of waves on Oct. 1 and was sitting on his board with his legs dangling in the water when the shark attacked.“I don’t remember the initial contact,” Trainor told the Times-Standard. “It kind of happened so quickly.”
Trainor was eventually able to break free and paddle back to the shore where another surfer witnessed the attack. An ambulance was called and Trainor was rushed into surgery with a 19-inch wound, the size of the shark's mouth. Trainor is expected to make a full recovery. He told the Times-Standard that the incident won't stop him from surfing, but he will try not to go alone.
“I probably will think twice before surfing by myself,” he said. “Some of these locations that have a little bit more sea life are more remote.” The International Shark File tracks shark attacks. It reports that there are between 70-100 shark attacks every year worldwide, resulting in about five deaths.
