Teenager Jessica Riley was surfing alone at Flagler Beach, in Florida, in the USA when she was attacked by what is believed to be a 9–foot bull shark．She narrowly escaped injury when the shark took a huge bite out of her board．
She told Florida’s WFTV that she was lying on her board and heard a splash．She said something told her to take her right hand out of the water just before the shark came up underneath the board, emerged from the water and bit into the board about half way down its length．
“The whole thing was like out of jaws,”she said,“where you see the eyeballs and then they turn white and the teeth they have were, like, crooked．As soon as it bit the board I fell in onto the shark．The shark started to thrash(逆行)and then I heard a popping sound and I thought ‘Oh not!Have I lost a leg or an arm?’”
She realised later that the popping sound was the chunk(块)of board breaking off in the shark’s mouth．She said it was crazy．There were so many thoughts going through her mind．“I started to kick and kneed the shark right under its mouth．My finger found its eyeball and it went in．As soon as I realised it was his eyeball, I shoved(推、撞)in more．”
She said the shark released the board, but caught her belt as it swam off pulling her under．She undid it, swam to the surface, scrambled(攀缘)back onto what was left of her board and paddled for shore．She said she called for help, but no one heard．
She collected her things from the beach, put her board in her truck and drove to a friend’s house．They called 911．When the police came round they didn’t believe her story until they saw her board．
She said at the time of the report–three days after the attack–she had had very little sleep because she had been having nightmares about the attack．
