Queenslander escapes four-metre tiger shark that attacked his kayak

Man used radio to contact coast guard after shark rammed and bit his craft and sent him flying into the ocean on the Sunshine Coast

A kayaker has been sent flying after a four-metre tiger shark rammed and then sank its teeth into his tiny craft on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.

The man, aged in his 30s, was fishing from his kayak off Moffat beach on Thursday morning when he was flung into the water, surfacing to find the shark with its jaws still clamped around one end.
