Steve Harnack
Nelscott Reef, Lincoln City, Oregon
58 year old Steve Harnack is considering himself lucky after his surfboard was bitten by a shark. He was teathered to his surfboard by a 20-ft. long cord, after being hit by waves and seperated from his board for a time he made his way back to shore. Only once back on shore did Steve notice the damage to his board.
“I think during that time while my board was away from me a shark bit it,” he said, pointing to a deep puncture mark that travels through to the other side of the board. “All the surfers concurred that there’s nothing else that could have done this,” Harnack said, adding that, in 40-foot water, there is no way his board could have gone down far enough to hit the sea floor.
Here is a picture of Steve and his surfboard.
