The following day, in a strange turn of events, his brother was surfing the same area when he was also hit by a shark.
Tucker Shogren, 19, was sitting on his board approximately 40 feet from the beach next to the north side of the pier as he watched the waves break.
Around 10:30 a.m. he was hit on his right leg by an estimated 4- to 5-foot-long shark. The hit knocked the Florida Atlantic University Surf Club president into the water.
Shogren quickly walked back to shore in waist-deep water and found some minor damage to the tail of his board.
Despite the damage, he was back in the water 10 minutes later and has even more respect for sharks.
“That shark was shorter and weighs less than me and knocked me off a board in such a swift motion. It deserves respect,” Shogren said.
