On September 12, two surfers were bitten by sharks at Central Florida beaches within 24 hours.
One man, Bill Eveland, was surfing at Satellite Beach with his friends when he decided to go for one last set.
"When I came up from the wave is when the shark kind of hit a glancing blow to my lower right back, and I knew I'd been hit," Eveland said. "I glanced to the right and I could see the back end of the shark coming off, like where my board [was] and enter back into the water."
