A surfer survived a shark attack in Australia by striking the deadly creature twice in the face.
Dylan Nacass, 23, escaped with minor lacerations after the shark caught on his leg while sailing on Bell Beach in Torquay, Victoria.
The footage shows the brave 23-year-old Frenchman paddling after winning his fight for his life on Friday afternoon.
Local surfer Matthew Sedunary came to Nacass’ aid after hearing the backpackers scream.
He said Nine news he hastened to help to have no idea that Mr. Nacass was in a serious situation.
He said, “At first I thought he was laughing with his teammates, then I saw the fin.”
The two returned to shore together after the petrifying incident as the shark continued to circle.
Nacass said Advertiser Geelong He was ready to return to the water despite his terrible experience.
He said: “I fight with him and he is fine, I am alive. Everything is fine.
“In a week, when my leg is fine, I will go surfing in the same place.”
Graham Blade was filming another friend surfing when he heard the screams, so he fired the commotion and managed to capture the shark by following Mr. Nacass and Mr. Sedunary to shore for about 30 seconds.
In the video, Mr. Sedunary, who lives locally, was smiling without realizing that the shark was hovering a few meters away until he saw the clip later.

Gillespie, a former surf instructor living in West Clare, was able to film the majestic moment on his GoPro camera.
He told Mirror Online: “It is a strange feeling to see a fin come towards you.
“I had never been in the water and had seen one before. The moment of putting my head underwater and seeing the first shark was quite surreal.”
“At first I felt a little intimidated since they are so big.”
However, the doctoral student said that this fear soon turned to amazement as he watched the creatures slowly pass by him.
