An Australian surfer is presumed dead after he was dragged underwater by a shark in an area known to be frequented by great whites earlier this week, authorities said.
Tod Gendle, 55, was paddling in the water with a group of surfers near Granites Beach near Streaky Bay when he was knocked off of his surfboard by a shark around 10:20 a.m. local time Tuesday, witnesses told ABC.
