Florida Surfer Hit by Airborne Shark off New Smyrna Beach
Florida surfer Darren Kaye had a startling encounter when a spinner shark launched itself out of the water and headbutted him while he was surfing at New Smyrna Beach, a location known for frequent shark sightings and occasional attacks. Kaye described the impact as feeling like being hit by a car, noting the shark's powerful muscular body, and was relieved the shark's mouth was closed at the moment of contact. Despite the shock and being knocked off his board, he quickly recovered, paddled away, and continued surfing at the same beach over the following days. Spinner sharks are known for their spinning leaps while feeding but are not typically aggressive toward humans, unlike other local species such as bull sharks. Kaye's experience was captured on video and has gone viral on social media, drawing attention to the unusual but non-fatal nature of the incident. This extraordinary event highlights both the risks and resilience involved in surfing in shark-populated waters.
