SAN ONOFRE -- A 10-year-old boy survived a close call with a shark Wednesday evening while surfing at San Onofre.
Mason Klink says a shark attacked him while he and a friend were surfing around 5 p.m. just an eighth of a mile offshore at a popular spot for surfing known as Old mans.
"I was laying down on my board, and it knocked me out of the water," Klink said. "My board got knocked two feet out of the water. I waited for the turbulence to end. I didn't know what it was."
Klink was unharmed. He sustained not even get a single scratch. In fact, the only evidence of the attack is a giant bite mark and a shark tooth left embedded in his board.
His friend, Wes, paddled back to shore with Klink after the close call.
Old mans has not seen a shark attack in more than two months. There was another shark attack in September.
Authorities are posting warnings about the shark attack and are expected to decide Thursday whether to close the beach or not.
