Summary
A 24-year-old paddleboarder named Verco faced down a massive great white shark near Coogee Beach when it attacked swimmers. Calm under pressure, he ignored frantic pleas to get on his board and instead paddled toward the commotion, helping rescue a woman dragged underwater. Using his surf lifesaving training, he towed her to shore while she lost consciousness, securing her with a drink bottle cage and talking her through the ordeal. Lifeguards and medics rushed to her aid, stabilizing her injuries. Verco’s quick thinking and training saved lives — and his dad later confirmed the shark was huge and terrifying.
