A shark attacked his canoe off the coast of Coffs Harbour and ripped off a huge chunk of it, leaving it adrift for a while before another boat rescued him. The Daily Mail reported the attack and said:
The paddler was unhurt ... has since returned to the water in a loaner canoe. More fear than harm, especially when you see the state of the boat in the photos shared...
A great white shark was responsible
In the images, it appears that a large part of the canoe has been ripped off. The teeth marks left on the canoe left the concerned authorities shocked. They informed the victim that it was, indeed, a great white shark which was longer than three meters.
