Eyewitness accounts are starting to make their way around the news sites.
According to witnesses, a large black fin was seen between the victim and the person he was body surfing with (his son, reportedly). Seconds later, the guy was pulled under.
Medical reports indicate a large bite area across both legs. Looks like whatever it was grabbed him across both legs simultaneously, and pulled him under for a short time, before releasing him. There was no secondary/follow-up attack. The shark (presumably a shark if these reports are accurate) swam away.
If this is the scenario, it's consistent with a GW taste test bite. What's more likely, given the amount of seals there and the known presence of whites along the backside--a GW or some exotic species rare in the ocean waters off the lower Cape?
