tl;dr he's dead. It chomped off both his legs and bit his board in half. It (the shark) was the size of a car.
A 41-year-old surfer from Japan has been killed in a shark attack near Ballina on the New South Wales north coast. Tadashi Nakahara suffered severe injuries to his leg and was helped from the water by a group of fellow surfers at Shelly Beach on Monday morning, but he died at the scene from massive blood loss.
Detective Inspector Cameron Lindsay said Mr Nakahara was surfing in a group when the shark attacked.
"We believe he was surfing with up to four men, two were very close to him, they rendered assistance and brought him to shore," he said.
"Two other surfers paddled in to help out and help with the injuries.
"Unfortunately they could not stop the bleeding and at this stage we believe he died of blood loss.
"He had leg injuries and they were substantial, they were injuries that led to a significant loss of blood."
