Sydney Levy
New Smyrna beach, Florida
Valeh Levy and her 15-year-old daughter Sydney had just paddled out on their surfboards when Sydney was suddenly pulled off her board and disappeared beneath the water.
She surfaced again, a moment later and got back on her board as her mother watched in horror.
"She got back on her board, and there was her ankle … She put her ankle up, and she looked at it, and there was blood coming off of it"
The shark then grabbed her a second time.
Valeh Levy then sprang into action:
"I said, 'There's no way this thing is going to kill my daughter,' and I grabbed her shoulders, and I pulled her up on my board."
Mother and daughter were assisted back to the beach by two other surfers who saw the attack and came to their aid.
An ambulance was already at the beach because another surfer, 17-year-old Nick Romano, had been attacked be a shark moments before. Sydney was rushed into surgery but relased later that night.
