There was a minor shark attack (29 stitches) recently near where I surf. The video interview says that they were boogie boarding -- normally I'd protest that it should be called bodyboarding, but from what I can gather they were just playing around on some cheapo boards so the term is appropriate.
It sounds like they'd gotten kind of far out and I didn't hear any mention of swim fins so that probably means lots of kicking and splashing splashing which is why it bit her foot. Other contributing factors were very murky water, being out near a sandbar and the time of year which is known for bait fish and shark migrations. Fortunately her injuries were minor. Unfortunately, though she knows the odds, she's decided not to return to the water.
