A surfer is recovering Monday after being bitten during a shark attack off New Smyrna Beach.

The unidentified 20-year-old was bitten on the leg at about 3 p.m. Sunday just south of 27th Avenue in New Smyrna Beach.

The man made it back to shore and was treated at the beach before being taken to a nearby hospital.

The incident marks the 17th shark attack in Volusia County in 2008, Beach Patrol officials said.
