0
During a midday surf at Nahoon Reef today (Saturday, 21 May 2018), an East London surfer was struck from below by a shark and sustained minor injuries. Eye witnesses report that the man was paddling just past Pinnacle, when he was launched almost a metre in the air out in the packed line-up. Luckily his board took the brunt of the damage from the impact, with the rider, who would prefer to remain anonymous, receiving just a few minor cuts on his right side. Bathers and surfers have been encouraged not to enter the water as a precautionary measure for the time being.
