Mike Morita’s family say the 58-year-old is in good spirits as he recovers, in the hospital, from the shark attack at Kewalos — a rare attack on Oahu’s south shore that took place…
) — Oahu surfer Mike Morita lost a foot in Sunday’s shark attack. But according to his son, he hasn’t lost his sense of humor — or his positive outlook on life.
“He ended up face to face with the shark with his foot still in its mouth and he wrapped his leg around it, like a bear hug. Throwing punches didn’t work, so he started going after the gills and eyes, and that is when the shark finally let him go,” said Morita’s son Kamu Morita. Morita lost his right foot in the attack, and will undergo another surgery this week, as doctors try to save as much of his leg as possible. While he has a challenging recovery ahead of him, Kamu said his dad has already talked about getting back into the ocean.
