NSW: Shark knocks ironman off surf ski
SYDNEY, Dec 27 AAP - A Sydney ironman was knocked off his surf ski by one of three
sharks cruising off Maroubra beach today.
Glen Cowdrey was knocked off his surf ski by a shark believed to be as long as three
metres late this afternoon.
A spokesman for the Surf Life Saving Sydney organisation said two other two-to-three
metre sharks were also posing a danger to surfers at the beach.
Boats and a helicopter are now being used to shepherd the sharks away from the beach.
Shortly afterwards, Coogee beach was closed to swimmers and boardriders after several
more sharks were spotted offshore.
