Hajek, 58, said after catching a few waves, he and Jai were walking back farther out into the water from a sandbar when Jai told him he thought he'd been bitten.

"I go, 'No you didn't,'" Hajek said. "So he kind of lifts his leg up, and sure enough, the whole back of his leg is missing."

Hajek said the wound stretched from about four inches below Jai's right knee to his Achilles tendon. Based on the depth of the water and the size of the bite, he said it was likely Jai was bitten by a bull shark.

Bad bite for these parts. Nice of Hobgood and O'Brien to reach out to him. Hope he fully recovers.
