An Australian surfer had a close encounter with a shark off Sydney's
Bondi Beach on Tuesday when it jumped onto his board, giving him a huge
fright in a near-miss witnessed by lifeguards. Dean Norburn said he was surfing with two friends early in the morning when the shark launched itself out of the water onto his board.
"We were just past the break and as I was paddling in a little bit, I slowed down and went to sit up on my board and... as I did that, the shark brushed by me and landed on my board," Norburn told AFP.
"It gave me a bit of a shock as you can understand. And as quick as it came up it jumped off my board... swam towards one of my friends, swam under his board and then swam off.
"It's really quite freaky... it was my first (shark encounter) and hopefully it's going to be the last," he added.
