A shark bit a 16-year-old Georgia teenager on the arm while he surfed just north of Ponce Inlet. He was paddling his surfboard about 500 feet offshore at 1:20 p.m. His injuries were non-life-threatening.

This record is kept by NSB Watch, a watchmaker on this beach. One of its dive watches is named the Shark Bite.
