"I looked back and then saw this big mouth grabbing onto my board, and then it bit I guess, like here, and also on this side you can see the mouth here."
"I just remember being in the water, looking back, seeing this black eye and the teeth of the shark, and then I just tried to grab my board as fast as possible and come back in."
A surfer named Jens Heller experienced a frightening encounter with a shark in Montara, California, when the shark bit his board shortly after he entered the water. Heller described the moment he felt a force knock him off his board and saw the shark, estimated to be about 10 feet long, grabbing onto his surfboard. This near-miss prompted Heller to consider his damaged board as iconic, deciding not to repair it and instead display it as a reminder of the incident.
