Surfer bitten by a shark skipped the hospital and went to a bar

Even the sharks know that it’s Shark week!

This past Saturday in Jacksonville, Florida 23-year-old professional surfer Frank O’Rourke was knocked off his surfboard by a three to four-foot shark.

During the struggle, the shark took a decent bite out of the surfer’s arm.

Shortly afterward he was treated by a lifeguard and his friend RJ Berger, had the attack on video, said the bite was pretty bad and that he could’ve gotten a few stitches.

After the incident, RJ said  “He immediately went to a bar because he was like,  ‘hey, I got bit by a shark,’ and people were like, ‘I’ll buy you drinks.’ So he hung out at the pier.”

Although he got attacked, at least he got a sweet story and some free drinks out of it. Maybe even helped him with the ladies!
