A fearless 15-year-old whose foot was bitten by a shark while surfing on Long Island said Tuesday the attack won’t stop him from getting back on his board. “[I’m] very excited to be back and start shredding again,” North Babylon’s Peter Banculli told Long Island’s News 12.

Banculli’s friend Joe and a good Samaritan helped him until lifeguards arrived at Kismet Beach and rushed him to a hospital emergency room, he said. “At first I didn’t believe it and then my reaction was pure panic,” his mother, Kelly, told the station. “I needed to get to him right away.” “I’m so proud of him and he’s super brave,” she added.

Banculli, who has been using a knee scooter to get around with his injured foot, said he plans to get back to surfing as soon as he recovers as he takes a closer look at what might be lurking below the surface.
