The elderly mother of a champion surfer who died after a one-punch attack on the NSW mid-north coast says he was the victim of a "human shark".
In an emotional victim impact statement read to the Newcastle District Court on Wednesday, the surfer Chris 'Davo' Davidson's sister, Carlie Maudson, said his family had been left devastated by the fatal attack, including her 77-year-old mother.
"She hates you for what you've done," Ms Maudson told the killer, Grant Coleman, younger brother of NSW Waratahs coach Darren Coleman.
"She said he spent all of his life surfing and he was never attacked by a shark but he was taken by a human shark."
