Shark Attack Closes Montara State Beach

Montara State Beach temporarily closed after shark attack. A surfer, Jens Heller, had a close encounter with a ten-foot shark at Montara State Beach on Saturday afternoon. The shark attacked his surfboard, leaving a large hole. "It's something that you don't really think would happen," Heller said in an interview. Despite the damage to his board, Heller was unharmed. State Park Rangers closed the beach for about 48 hours, reopening on Monday afternoon. The incident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers of surfing in areas with known shark populations.
