Nigel Hughes, 39, Bitten December 13th, 2009
Nigel Hughes was bitten by an unidentified shark at about 7 AM on Sunday December 13th, 2009. The attack occurred while he was surfing at Coffee Rock, north of Evans Head in NSW Australia. As he was about to stand on his board he felt the shark strike. He reported that it felt like a baseball bat. The bit nearly severed his big toe. He caught a wave back to the beach where friends wrapped his toe and transported him to a hospital. He reported that he will be back in the water as soon as he can walk again.
