Three people sustained shark bites during Labor Day weekend in Volusia County, Florida, where red flags for high surf or strong currents were flown.
"The shark came from under me, on my board and tipped me backwards off my board, and I was falling backwards, I saw my foot in his mouth, and it dragged me under," Pospisil told FOX 35.
The surfer sustained extensive damage to his left foot in the attack and his surgeon said he lost approximately"one large Chick-fil-a sized cup of blood," according to a GoFundMe account set up by family.and a skin graft had to be created to wrap around Pospisil's foot. Doctors also found pieces of the shark's tooth shattered and stuck in his bone.
"The top of my foot is going to be numb in some areas for the rest of my life, and my foot might be stiff because they had to repair all seven tendons," he said while describing his injuries. Florida surfer Chris Pospisil sustained serious injuries to his left foot after a shark attack at New Smyrna Beach in July 2023.The injury resulted in six months of physical therapy for Pospisil, who is planning to surf again once cleared to do so.
"It hasn’t changed anything. I’m definitely going to keep surfing. It’s my lifestyle, and it’s something I love to do," Pospisil shared.Get all the stories you need-to-know from the most powerful name in news delivered first thing every morning to your inbox
