Shark attack victim Brett Connellan returns to the surf
In March last year, Brett Connellan was attacked by a shark while surfing at Bombo Beach near Kiama on the NSW South Coast. Brett survived but suffered severe injuries. Against all odds, Brett has not only recovered from surgery, but is back surfing.

Glad to see he's back in the water. All the best to him.
Good on you Brett. All the best for your continued recovery.
And my sincere condolences to the others who were not so lucky.
thats absolutely awesome. not to take anything away from the story but that reporter looked like a bit of a clown wearing a wetsuit the whole time.

Awesome stuff Bretto! Can't wait to see you ripping on the big stage one day!
Go Brett - what a legend - to be able to live through trauma like that and revisit its origin and still see yourself growing - all within a year - is beyond fantastic. May the forces of good in the ocean be with you.
