One of Frank’s friends, RJ Berger, was right there when it happened. He told News4Jax that “he immediately went to a bar ’cause he was like, ‘I got bit by a shark,’ and people were like, ‘I’ll buy you drinks.’ So he went and hung out at the pier.”

Fox News went on to say that it is not clear if Frank ever went to a hospital but that he still plans to surf in the future.
