I was about 200 yards out, just past the second sandbar, ... And when I heard the scream, I turned around and saw one of the girls swimming towards the beach frantically and the other one had disappeared and there was a big dark spot where she used to be in the water.

The damage on her left leg was really extensive, and I didn't know whether she had just gone into shock -- but she'd pretty much stopped bleeding by the time I got her on to the beach -- so I didn't know how we were going to save her.

He was really aggressive, ... I've been here a long time and I've never seen a shark get that aggressive.

So I tried to pull her from the water -- the shark had made an attack when I was trying to get her out of the water. But it gave me enough time to get her on to the board once he had to come back around to make another attack.

She was hurt really bad. It looked like she was going to at least lose her leg.
