Podargus
Reality Bites
This is believed to be the great white that attacked.
This is the fourth serious shark attack along the one-kilometre stretch of beach in less than two years.
Cooper was treated at the scene for his injuries before being taken to Lismore Base Hospital.
His father Ned Allen said he was unsure how long he would be there but he appeared to be "fine".
Surf Life Saving NSW lifeguards on jet skis chased the shark away from the shore after the attack.
"[The victim] received lacerations and bite marks to his upper-thigh area, he was assisted into the shore and off-duty nurses treated him," Inspector Bruce said.
"We've got the surfboard and the bite marks will be analysed by the DPI [the Department of Primary Industries].
