Talented Teen Surfer Killed in Shark Attack in South Australia

Khai Cowley, 15, was fatally attacked while surfing with his father, marking the third fatal shark attack in the region this year.

15-year-old Khai Cowley was killed by a shark while surfing with his father at Ethel Beach in South Australia's Innes National Park. This is the third fatal shark attack in South Australia this year.
Cowley was a talented surfer and a member of the Microgroms Junior Surf Club. He was also due to represent his club at the Boardriders Battle in March.
The attack occurred around 1:30 PM local time on Thursday, December 28. Despite efforts to save him, Cowley's body was recovered from the water.
South Australia has seen a spike in shark attacks this year, with five attacks recorded, three of which were fatal. The increase in attacks is difficult to explain, according to shark expert Andrew Fox.
Following the attack, Ethel Beach has been sectioned off to the public. The area is a popular tourist spot, especially during the summer months.
