## Caption

Windsurfer Andy McDonald said he believed it was "the end of my life", after surviving a shark attack in Western Australia. 
 
The shark gnawed on his board and then dived deeper into the ocean, leaving Andy mostly unharmed.
 
It has not stopped him already buying a new one so he can return to the waves soon.
