More details now on our top story ...
According to the Maui News, a 47 year old man from Reno was surfing with a buddy at Tavares Bay yesterday and at about 10:30 am was bumped from below and knocked of his board. He got back on his board, paddled and caught a wave in. At some point, the shark bit the rear of the board. The photo in the paper doesn't show much of a bite. The guy's buddy says he saw a tail fin.
They closed the beach and patroled the area. They'll patrol today and assess whether or not to open the beach back up. No determination on the size or type of the shark.
Tavares Bay is between Kuau Bay and Mama's Fish House - prime windsurfing area. According to the paper, the last attack on the north shore took place in 2000 when a French windsurfer was bitten on the leg off of Kanaha.
Wind is still forecast to return on Thursday or Friday.
