In a dramatic incident off Montara State Beach, California, surfer Jens Heller experienced a shark attack that left his surfboard bitten but him unharmed. After paddling out for 10 to 15 minutes, he felt a force beneath him, only to discover a shark had clamped onto his board. Despite the shock, he managed to swim back to shore safely. After the incident, officials took swabs from his board to analyze the shark DNA and closed the beach temporarily. Remarkably, Heller remains unfazed and plans to continue surfing despite the frightening encounter. This event marks California's second recorded shark encounter this year.
"I was sitting on the board, and then I felt something under my foot kick me off the board. I looked back and then saw this big mouth grabbing onto my board."
"It's my lucky day, I guess. I can't believe it didn't get me at all. I was like, what are the odds?"
