Surfer survives shark
attack in Pacifi c City
By JIM RYAN
The Oregonian
Nathan Holstedt was
waiting for a wave, look-
ing out toward the horizon,
when something hit his leg
and surfboard from behind.
He was pulled underwa-
ter — “directly down like a
plunger.”
And when he resur-
faced, he saw a shark only
feet away.
It was coming back
toward him.
So he “tomahawked”
his board between himself
and the shark — possibly
hitting the animal — and
turned toward the beach.
He started paddling as hard
as he could.
Holstedt made it to
shore unscathed, though
when the shark bit his
board, it missed his right
leg by about 6 inches.

Holstedt
described
the harrowing ordeal that
unfolded about 8:30 a.m.
Tuesday off the Oregon
Coast in Pacifi c City. Shark
warning signs were posted
on the beach as a result.
Holstedt, a 33-year-old
Pacifi c City resident, told
The Oregonian on Wednes-
day he’s thankful he wasn’t
hurt and that his friends got
out of the water safely.
The only carnage?
The shark bit the right
side of his board and
knocked off the board’s left
fi n. Holstedt also noticed
a crack on the nose of his
board, though that likely
happened when he used his
board to defend himself.
Holstedt headed home
shortly after the attack,
decompressed for a cou-
ple of hours, then took care
of some work. He also tex-
ted the Tillamook County
sheriff, a fellow surfer,
when he got out of the
water.
Oregon State Parks
spokesman Chris Havel
said parks staff put up
shark warning signs on the
beach that day. A ranger
was also posted on the
beach to ensure people
onshore understood what
had happened.
Holstedt said he’s been
surfi ng the Oregon Coast
since he was a teenager
but has only had one other
run-in with a shark: one
swam behind him while he
was on a wave two years
ago, prompting his party to
make haste for the shore.
Tuesday’s attack, Hol-
stedt said, won’t keep him
out of the water.
“Hopefully my card
was punched and I’m good
now,” he said. “Fingers
crossed.”
on Wednesday, Benjamin
Robert Gildow, 23, of Asto-
ria was arrested by Astoria

allegedly hit a car attempting
to turn onto the New Youngs
