A female surfer has been saved by her heroic husband after being mauled by a great white shark on at a popular beach on the New South Wales coast. 35yr old Chantelle Doyle was surfing with her husband Mark Rapley at Shelly Beach in Port Macquarie,when she was attacked about 9.30am on Saturday. The shark attacked her right calf and the back of her thigh before her husband launched into action, repeatedly punching the shark in the face to save her.
He leapt onto its back and fought off the animal until it finally let his wife go.
