One of the women, Ida Parker said the shark went underneath the other woman's boat, launched her backwards before coming after Parker. She added, "It was dark gray, pointy nose, big teeth, big eyes. It was like, right next to me. It was petrifying."
The women who were uninjured, swam away as did the shark.
