Surfer Survives Second Shark Attack at Same Florida Beach

Cole Taschman endures a second life-threatening encounter with a shark, 11 years after his first attack at Bathtub Beach.

Cole Taschman, a 28-year-old surfer, was attacked by a shark at Bathtub Beach in Florida, sustaining serious injuries to his feet.
This recent attack involved a shark, likely a tiger or bull shark, measuring between 2.4 and 2.7 meters, which bit through three tendons and damaged another.
Taschman survived a previous shark attack at the same location 11 years ago when he was just 16 years old.
Following the attack, Taschman was treated with two surgeries and 93 stitches, and he faces a lengthy recovery period.
His girlfriend has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover his medical expenses, and local businesses are also contributing to his support.
