'I caught my second wave, and barely got into it, and out of nowhere, I was popped into the air by probably like 10-15 feet. looked down and saw a shark,' Browning said. 'He took a bite on the way down.' Browning said a great white shark came out of the water, landed on his board and split it. He was still tethered to his board, so when the shark began swimming deeper, it pulled him underwater for five seconds. 'And he finally let go, and I let go of my leash and I was finally able to get up to the surface,' Browning said."
