Shark Attack while Surfing
14 to 15 feet
Well, it was a tiger shark, BUT it didn't kill her, she just lost her left arm. She is still alive today, 20 years old, and still surfing.
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.
no she just lost her arm and if you want to know there was only about 4 inches or less of the arm remander
