Description:
GLEN Lockery reckons he must be one of the luckiest men alive after surviving a body-slam by a shark.
The predator came at him from the deep before disappearing into murky post-flood surf at Shelly Beach near Port Macquarie at about 5pm last Wednesday.
Mr Lockery was waiting for a wave, watching his mates paddle in, when he was attacked.
"I was sitting out the back on my own and just got hit from below,'' he said yesterday.
It was a massive impact that flipped his surfboard up to hit him in the face.
Mr Lockery caught a glimpse of the shark's girth - about twice as wide as his surfboard.
"People have told me that when it comes from the deep it is either a great white or a tiger. It lifted the board and broke the nose,'' he said.
