A teenage surfer has revealed his terrifyingly close call with a shark which almost knocked him from his board - before the lad then ignored his mum's warning by getting back on the waves two hours later.
Bryce Hickman was 40 metres from the shore after he spotted the 2m shark which had knocked his board at Cosies Surf Break at Mandurah, near Perth, in West Australia on Thursday.
But even coupled with his mum's strict reaction not to go surfing again, the close encounter still wasn't enough to prevent the 15-year-old from riding the waves again.
