It is reported by Sky News.
Nick Minogue from Auckland said that during the attack, a shark gritted a part of his surfboard with his teeth. The man noted that he had heard of fear of sharks striking the eyes and nose and decided to put this technique into practice.
He screamed at the shark, aimed and hit her in the direction of the eye, but missed.
"Then I took my fist back, shouted" Get out! " again and hit right in the eye. Her eye is quite large, in three fists (in size), ”the surfer shared his impressions.
According to Minogue, the blow had an effect on the predator, the shark opened the jaw holding the board, left the surfer alone and sailed into the ocean.
The man safely reached the shore. He noted that he got off with minor cuts, and the situation could turn out to be the worst consequences.
In 2017, a surfer in Australia also escaped the attack of a great white shark by hitting a predator.
