Surfer dies after shark attack off SA coast

Witnesses reported seeing the 55-year-old man surfing at Granites Beach south of Streaky Bay on the Eyre Peninsula when he was attacked by a shark about 10.20am on Tuesday.

The incident follows a fatal attack on another surfer at Walkers Rock Beach in May, just 100km down the coast.

The body of 46-year-old teacher Simon Baccanello has never been recovered.

Earlier this month, 64-year-old Pamela Cook suffered serious leg injuries when she was bitten by a shark at Beachport on the state's southeast coast.

The man's body is yet to be found and police have pledged to continue their search.
