Mercury Psillakis, 57, was surfing with friends about 100 metres from the sand at Long Reef Beach about 10am on Saturday when a large shark bit him and his surfboard, police said. His board was cut in two and he lost both legs.

Eyewitness Mark Morgenthal saw the attack and described the shark as “huge”.

“There was a guy screaming, ‘I don’t want to get bitten, I don’t want to get bitten, don’t bite me,’ and I saw the dorsal fin of the shark come up, and it was huge,” Morgenthal told Sky News.

“Then I saw the tail fin come up and start kicking, and the distance between the dorsal fin and the tail fin looked to be about four metres, so it actually looked like a six-metre shark.”

Police said Psillakis died in the water, and his body was brought to shore by other surfers.
