Lone surfer punches Great White shark to thwart attack

Jack Frost, who was surfing alone that day, thwarted the attack by punching the shark in the head and gills.

A surfcam on the beach captured faraway footage of the incident, which took place at a well-known surf break in Western Australia known as “Boat Ramps” on July 24.
