"A surfer fought off a 7-foot shark with his board at an Australian beach Saturday - then continued surfing, a lifeguard said. The man in his 30s returned to Sydney's Bronte Beach 30 minutes after surviving the attack with a replacement board, despite the beach being closed because of the danger, life guard Aaron Graham said. 'He was pretty calm about it, very laid back,' said Graham, who was on the beach when the unidentified surfer rode his damaged board in... 'He jumped off the back and pushed the board toward the shark, keeping it between them,' Graham said. The shark took two bites of the fiberglass board before ceasing the attack."
