Boogie Boarder Dies After Shark Attack

Just recently, a 19-year-old surfer was attacked while boogie-boarding at a popular beach in Santa Barbara, CA, and died due to his injuries. The attack is leaving many experts to believe the culprit was none other than a great white shark.

According to the article, the attack seemed to fit the profile of a great white attack, and there are not too many sharks that could inflict the kind of injuries the young surfer had sustained. Witness believe the shark that killed the surfer was somewhere between 14 to 20 feet in length, which is quite common for a great white.

This is leading many in the surrounding area to keep clear of the water, although, experts say the shark wasn't hunting humans, but merely mistook the surfer for a seal.
