Description:
A teenage surfer never saw the great white shark that attacked him off a Sydney beach, savagely mauling him on the leg.

Andrew Lindop, 15, and his father Charles were having an early morning surf at Avalon on the northern beaches when the attack occurred on March 1.

The shark, identified as a 2.6-metre great white, bit into Andrew's leg from the thigh to the ankle, snapping the bone and tearing muscle.

Andrew screamed, alerting his father who managed to get him safely to shore before stemming the bleeding using a leg rope as a tourniquet.
