Raymond Senensi, 10, was bodyboarding on Makaha Beach
Park in Hawaii when he was attacked by a shark. The shark
bit his leg but he didn’t panic. The strong boy managed to
kick the shark away using his other leg. “I kicked it with this
leg, and then I kicked him in the nose,” Raymond said.
Fortunately, another body boarder, Mike Ward, was surfing
nearby when the attack occurred. “I said, ‘What’s wrong?’
and he said, ‘A shark is following me’.” Mike narrated.
Together with an off-duty lifeguard, Mike was able to get
Raymond back to the beach, where he was rushed to
hospital.
Raymond had three deep gashes on his leg, one of which
was a large opening on his thigh. His mother, Shirita
Moreno, described the incident as her ‘worst nightmare.
“I was hysterical; he wasn’t. He was telling me, ‘Mom, I’m
going to be okay’.” Shirita told KHON-TV
Doctors say Raymond is recovering well and should be
discharged from hospital soon.
