Surfer back survives shark attack and Hurricane Milton in two-week stretch

A surfer survived a bull shark attack - and was back on the waves just five days later.

Charley Hajek, 62, says even seeing 11 sharks since his foot was chomped, hasn't scared him off the board.

Not even huge Hurricane Milton waves have stopped “Gnarly Charley" - as he's known - getting back out on the water off New Smyrna Beach, Florida.

"The sun was out and the waves were fired and I did what I wanted to do," he says.

Disaster struck on as Charley was coming in from the ocean on his 148th straight day of surfing, on September 22.
