LOS ANGELES - A surfer has been killed after being bitten by a shark while body boarding off a beach at Vandenberg Air Force Base in Santa Barbara County, the Santa Maria Times reported Friday.
The report said the victim was a college student, but gave no other identifying details.
The Surf Beach where the deadly attack occurred is a well-known spot in California surfing circles and previously experienced a shark attack in 2008, when a shark bit a surfer’s board. The nearby Avila beach saw a fatal shark attack in 2003.
