Chris Myers and his son tried to reach a sandbar during some body surfing, when Chris got bitten by a shark. After the incident Chris was able to swim the 400-500 yards back to shore without help.

Rumor is that a white shark was involved. SAVN has not yet seen the wound pictures and can not confirm or exclude a white shark. The area around Cape Cod is known for white sharks, and at least one has been spotted before (confirmed through a photo where the shark followed a kajak) in recent weeks.
