Great white shark stalks a surfer before mauling him to death at a Gold Coast beach

Surf cameras have captured the chilling moment a man was killed by a great white shark at a netted Gold Coast beach in the first fatal attack in the region since 1958.

The horrific incident unfolded just metres away from other surfers at Greenmount Beach at 5pm, when the 46-year-old man was bitten on the leg.

At least 40 surfers were in the water when the man was hunted down.
