“I was in a lot of pain and still thinking, you know, I’m either going to lose my leg or I’m gonna die.” EXCLUSIVE: Shark attack survivor speaks out from hospital bed.
California surfer Eric Steinley, 38, said he was on his surfboard Sunday when he felt a bite and punched the shark before making an escape back to shore. He is still recovering in the hospital.Surfer Eric Steinley is recovering in the hospital after he was bitten by a great white shark in Bodega Bay, California.
Another surfer who was nearby in the water, Jared Davis, said he saw"the tail fin of a shark. They were kind of going down into the water.""I punched this thing. And I mean, you can see just from grazing its teeth. I cut my hand. But it was such a measly punch compared to how big this creature was," he explained.
Nearly a dozen surfers rushed in to help once they got to shore, using surfboard leashes as a makeshift tourniquet to help stop the bleeding. Timothy Saluzzom, a paramedic who responded on the scene, said the care Steinley got prior to his arrival"really helped to save his leg."
