Cole Taschman, 28, was surfing with two friends at Bathtub Beach in Stuart on the state's east coast last Friday afternoon (local time) when the attack occurred,Â
Taschman was 16 years old in 2013 when a blacktip reef shark bit his hand while surfing at the same beach.
"Same beach, same exact rock, same place, same reef, same everything," Taschman said.
Taschman’s girlfriend has launched a GoFundMe appeal to help with bills. And Ohana Surf Shop in Stuart was raffling off a surfboard or a fishing charter trip with 100% of the proceeds going to Taschman.
