Surfer catches wave to shore after Bali shark attack | Coconuts TV

American man Ryan Boarman is now recovering at a hospital in Singapore after multiple surgeries on his arm following a nasty shark bite in West Bali.

Boarman had been surfing in the morning, catching some nice waves in Balian, Tabanan on April 25, when he suddenly felt excruciating pain on his arm near his elbow, then saw a shark, about two-meters long swimming away.

But the shark did not take the 26-year-old down! Being the badass surfer that he is, Boarman jumped on his board and rode a wave back in to the safety of the beach. And it was a apparently a really good wave.

“All he said was that he was on his way in, he knew he would be able to get in more quickly if he took the wave, and he told me afterwards that it was a really good wave,” the surfer’s father, William Boarman said this afternoon to Coconuts Singapore at Raffles Hospital.
