Raymond Senensi was bitten by a shark October 28 off Mahaka Beach on the west side of Oahu, Hawaii.
The body border was approximately 50- 60 yards out when he was bitten on the right leg around 3 p.m..
The 4th-grader said he was waiting on a wave, when the shark jumped out and grabbed him.
He said the shark pulled him underwater, but he was able to kick it in the nose causing it to release its grasp.
Two people who were surfing nearby heard the 10-year-old’s cries and helped him to shore.
He was transported to the hospital where he received stitches for the puncture wounds and a gash to his leg.
This is the third reported attack bite in Oahu and the seventh overall in Hawaii this year.
The shark was reported to be 6-feet long with gray and white markings.
Tiger sharks have been know to give berth around the islands during the fall and are thought to be responsible for a large number of attack bites.
The location has been marked on the 2015 shark attack bites tracking map.
