The professional surfer was injured when a white shark bit his leg at North Shore Beach in Port Macquarie on July 23 at 11:00 am. The bite was so severe that Kai's leg was severed and the severed leg washed up on the shore later.
Despite losing a leg, Kai managed to reach the shore. An off-duty police officer used his dog's leash as a makeshift tourniquet to provide initial aid. The surfing enthusiast used the social media platform Instagram to update his concerned followers.
He said, "Oh my God, being here right now, just being able to embrace my beautiful Eve and my family, means everything to me. I was attacked by a crazy shark a few days ago (the biggest shark I've ever seen). It was a crazy scene and it scared me a lot. It's incredible to see so many wonderful people supporting me."
He later shared a cheerful photo of himself with loved ones at the hospital.
