A FOUR-metre long great white shark attacked surfer Colin Grey (20) on Saturday, off Cintsa East beach near East London. Grey was pulled from his board by the shark, which fortunately then turned its attentions to his board before swimming away. Grey made it to the beach by himself and was treated overnight in hospital for wounds to his right leg before being discharged on Sunday. June and July are particularly dangerous months in the area, due to an annual southern move of sharks. Shark attacks in South Africa increased dramatically last year, numbering 17 after an annual average of five for several years.
