A surfer was hospitalized in serious condition Sunday after a shark bit his right leg in waters along Honolulu’s busiest tourism district on Oahu’s south shore, officials said.<\/p>\n

The attack was reported about 7 a.m., and first responders included Honolulu Emergency Medical Services and the Honolulu Fire Department, said Shayne Enright, a spokesperson for the Honolulu Emergency Services Department.<\/p>\n

Before they arrived, however, surfers “helped app<\/a>ly a tourniquet to his wound,” she said by email.<\/p>\n

The victim, described as a 58-year-old man, was surfing a spot called Kewalos off Kewalo Basin Harbor, which is just north of the tourist mecca of Waikiki, Enright said.<\/p>\n

South shore beaches are home to a number of globally known surf spots, including Ala Moana Bowls, Kaisers and Canoes, some of which have been featured in film and television depictions of Hawaiian life since the 1950s.<\/p>\n

Native Hawaiian culture often views sharks as family guardians<\/a> and teaches that the fish should be regarded respectfully.<\/p>\n

Local authorities posted signs near the attack warning beachgoers of the danger, Enright said. <\/p>\n

“Honolulu Ocean Safety will continue to patrol the waters off of Kewalo Basin and Ala Moana after this morning’s shark bite,” she said.<\/p>\n

The U.S., led by Florida’s 16 incidents, reported the most unprovoked shark attacks in the world last year, according to the International Shark Attack File<\/a> at the University of Florida. Of the 41 U.S. cases, one ended in death, in Hawaii.<\/p>\n

The state accounted for five unprovoked attacks last year, the file says.<\/p>\n

In Honolulu this weekend, high temperatures have been in the mid-80s, with surf at 2 to 3 feet, according to the National Weather Service and the private wave forecaster Surfline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
