Shark attacks off the North Carolina coast isn’t stopping vacationers nor did it stop author Stu Summers from catching a few waves at Paparra, a popular local surf break. Summers was reportedly rushed to a Papeete, Tahiti hospital after being attacked by a shark while surfing.

Witnesses confirmed that the author was paddling back out to the lineup after getting barreled when attacked by a shark. Moments earlier, Summers had been seen on the beach autographing copies of his latest novel, Summers’ Love.

Stu Summers’s arm was clearly detached below the elbow and the author appeared visibly in pain when pulled from the water. Stu Summers’s condition is unknown and spokespersons for the author could not be reached for comment at this time.

Additional details and information will be updated as it becomes available. This story is still developing
