HONOLULU (AP) — A surfer says he's grateful to be recovering in a Maui hospital after a shark bit him — even though the attack forced him and his wife to postpone their honeymoon. Federico Jaime was surfing Friday at a beach about two blocks from his Paia home when he felt a shark chomp down on his left arm, he recalled Monday from his room at Maui Memorial Medical Center. Meola said he continued filming as Jaime calmly rinsed in a shower before paramedics arrived "freakishly fast" and whisked him into an ambulance. The 5-foot reef shark bit Jaime when he was about 50 yards from shore at a surf spot known as "H-Poko," according to the Maui Fire Department. University of Hawaii researchers say this may be because female tiger sharks migrate south from the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands to give birth. An influx of hungry pupping sharks may boost the likelihood of a bad encounter with a human.
