The 28-year-old man was bitten around 7:30pm while paddling out into the surf about 50 feet (15m) off the beach -- roughly 100 miles (160km) south of Daytona Beach -- Brevard County Fire-Rescue Lt. Jeff Taylor told Florida Today. When the man looked down to see what had bitten him he saw a shark he estimated was around five feet (1.5m) long. The man attempted to drive to himself to hospital, but pulled over at a local restaurant and called 911. Emergency officials transported him to the Holmes Regional Medical Center in stable condition. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. Click here to read more from Florida Today.
