Surfer Attacked by Crocodile in Costa Rica

When you hear of a surfer whose been attacked by something in the water it’s typically a shark. But check this out, a 13-year old boy was down in Costa Rica a few days ago having a great surf session when all of sudden he was being dragged and thrashed around by a crocodile. Dakota Kilbride was at Playa Hermosa which is a well know surf spot where the waves are good and the water is warm, but there’s a nearby river mouth where these deadly creatures like to hang out. And while croc attacks on humans in the area are apparently unheard of, it doesn’t mean that occasionally one of these beasts will go for a little exploration into the ocean. Dakota Kilbride is lucky to be alive, let alone lucky he didn’t lose his right leg.
