A shark that bit a large chunk out of a surfer’s board on Monday has forced the temporary closure of a New South Wales beach and prompted surfing legend Kelly Slater to describe the man’s injury-free escape as “incredible”.
The Tweed Shire council confirmed Cabarita beach, located about 35km north of Byron Bay, was currently closed. They said no one was injured in the incident.
