Kingscliff shark attack: Man dies while surfing on NSW north coast

By Thomas A. Smith

Two surfers who fought off a three-metre great white shark that fatally attacked a 60-year-old Queenslander in northern NSW have been praised for their heroic attempt to save his life.

The Gold Coast surfer died after being attacked by the shark at Salt Beach in South Kingscliff about 10am on Sunday.

The man received a bite to the back of his thigh and was then brought to the shore by a friend and another surfer who fought off the shark.
