A surfer suffered horror facial injuries in a brutal shark attack while another fought off a killer beast during two separate attacks in just 24 hours on the same beach. <\/p>\n
Beachgoers in Florida, United States, watched on in horror after the double shark attacks unfolded right in front of their eyes. <\/p>\n
Bill Eveland was left with 25 stitches following his encounter with a huge beast coming off the back of a feeding frenzy, while another unnamed surfer had part of their face bitten by the ocean-going predators.<\/p>\n

Both attacks took place on New Smyrna Beach, with attacks in the area common, and there is a key reason surfers keep getting bitten according to one veteran of the waves.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An unnamed 38-year-old was left with nasty wounds to the face after a shark bit him around 8am in the area where Mr Eveland received nasty gashes just 24 hours before. <\/p>\n
Bill had been surfing with friends, who returned to shore after a day in the ocean, but the shark attack victim fancied just one more set, Fox reported. <\/p>\n
Speaking of his encounter, Bill said: "When I came up from the wave is when the shark kind of hit a glancing blow to my lower right back, and I knew I'd been hit.<\/p>\n
"I glanced to the right and I could see the back end of the shark coming off, like where my board [was] and enter back into the water."<\/p>\n
Thankfully, Bill survived his encounter but was left with a bloodied shirt, some nasty gashes to his back and 25 stitches. <\/p>\n
