The bottom of surfboards look like seals, which is food to a shark. Usually that is what causes shark attacks.

In Bethany's book, she said she was wearing a watch on her left wrist, she still wonders to this day if it was the reflection of her watch that attracted the shark.

They matched the tiger shark's teeth to the huge bite out of Bethany's surfboard she was using when the shark bit her left arm off and a huge chunk of the surfboard as well.
