On August 28, 2007 Todd Endris
was surfing in Monterey Bay, California when he was
rammed by an 18 foot Great White Shark. Knocked off his board the shark returned to attack him
two more times.
With his back ripped open exposing his spine, with
half of his blood gone and his leg entirely down the
shark's mouth, Todd fought back violently. The shark
let go of him and circled allowing his victim to bleed to death but
today wasn't Todd's day to die.
Rallying to his side
creating a defensive wall a frenzied pod of
bottle-nosed dolphins intervened helping to save his
life. Todd's surfing buddies risked their lives to
get him to the beach and heroically helped to save
Todd's life. It took 700 stitches to close the 40
inch wide bite.
Todd Endris' story is
inspirational and reveals man's ability to defy all
odds. It's a story of bravery, courage, and the
fascinating relationship between man and dolphin
that we are still trying to understand.
