The nearly seven-foot beast - suspected to be a bull shark - mauled the right side of the 16-year-old's body, causing severe injuries to his leg, hand and arm, reports say.
Jaw-dropping footage showed fellow surfers and swimmers rushing to help the teen while the shark lurked closely behind him - visible only by its gargantuan fin.
Screams could be heard in the background as a brave person punched the shark while others scrambled to safety.
But rescuers continued to be stalked by the creature as they carried the injured boy to safety.
One shocked onlooker exclaimed in the clip: "Oh my God, that's the shark."
And another said: "Oh f***! That's really scary!"
Thankfully an off-duty paramedic was at the scene and helped the teen using a tourniquet to help stop the excessive bleeding.
One of the heroes who raced to help the boy after hearing his deafening screams was Brazilian Thiago Collel.
Recalling the horror incident, he explained how the boy sustained injuries that left one of his arms hanging off by a thread of sinew.
The 39-year-old told Daily Mail: "When I got to the shore, he had been dragged in by a group of people including an off-duty paramedic who happened to be walking on the beach at the time.

"His bicep was destroyed - you could see all the muscle, flesh and bone.
"He lost a scary amount of blood. I was covered in it."
The group then carried the boy out to safety on a surfboard they used as a makeshift stretcher.
Collel said he and several others "were just trying to keep him calm, holding his head and making sure he was okay".
He added: "I just kept talking to him and he told me how he fought off the shark by kicking and punching it away."
The boy was then airlifted to Gold Coast University Hospital by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter.
He remains here in serious but stable condition, the news site added.
A second chopper was deployed to track down the shark after the horror incident, but to no avail.
The species of shark currently remains unknown, but locals believe it was a bull shark.
Some even fear it could be a two-metre great white.

NBA free agent Malik Beasley faced lawsuits over alleged debt before federal gambling probe, court docs reveal
Already under federal investigation over gambling allegations, NBA free agent Malik Beasley is also being sued by his former agency, a landlord, a lender and a celebrity barber, according to court documents and a new report by The Detroit News. In what The News described Tuesday as '$8 million worth of financial problems,' alleged financial mismanagement has reportedly left Beasley in serious debt despite signing $59 million worth of NBA contracts over his career. Beasley was considering a three-year $42 million deal to return to the Detroit Pistons when the team pulled the offer amid the federal probe, according to the Detroit News. Daily Mail has reached out to team spokespeople for confirmation. He was sued on April 18 by his former agency, Hazan Sports Management Group, for allegedly breaching a marketing contract, according to court files obtained by Daily Mail. The agency claims it negotiated a $6 million deal for Beasley with the Pistons in the summer of 2024 before being fired and replaced with Seros Partners despite a four-year exclusive marketing agreement. Neither Hazan Sports nor Seros Partners responded to Daily Mail's request for comment on Wednesday evening. The lawsuit was previously reported by The Athletic but has resurfaced this week amid reports of the federal gambling probe into Beasley, who has not been charged in the case. He does face other lawsuits, however. As first reported by The News, Beasley lost a $5.8 million judgement to a lender in 2022. It remains unclear why Beasley needed the money. The News also uncovered a financing statement in which Beasley pledged his current and future NBA earnings to a Florida Firm in order to obtain a loan. Previously, he was sued by his downtown Detroit landlord for allegedly failing to pay $7,355 in back rent, according to The News, which also reports that a Milwaukee barber won $26,827 judgment against Beasley in January. That same month, Beasley lost a $34,390 default judgment to a Minnesota dentist. Court records from February show Beasley was having some paychecks garnished to pay the dentist. The debt remains outstanding, according to court records reviewed by Daily Mail. Beasley does not have an attorney listed for each case. However, he is represented in the gambling probe by criminal defense lawyer Steve Haney, who did speak with The News. 'I have been with Malik for a long time, I have seen a lot of people around him come and go, but I have stayed away from any of his financial management or mismanagement or decisions he would make with money,' Haney told The News. 'I'm his lawyer. I don't get involved in his finances,' he continued. 'You hope to get them around the best business people and planners and management people. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.' As for Beasley's borrowing history, Haney did not see it as unusual. 'It is very common for professional athletes to go to third-party lenders and get advances on contracts,' he said. 'It's a part of the business of professional sports. Many of these lenders are predatory and charge extremely high interest rates and outrageous fees that border on usury.' News of the investigation into Beasley comes just four months after his model wife Montana Yao filed for separation, and is just the latest in a series of off-field scandals. The split from his wife came four years after he was caught having an affair with Scottie Pippen's ex-wife, Larsa. Beasley and Yao ultimately reunited after he publicly apologized on social media, but she has since filed for separation, citing 'irreconcilable differences,' according to court documents obtained by The couple shares two children, but Daily Mail learned he moved on to a new lover: Instagram model and gamer Natalia Garibotto. The Pistons guard appeared to confirm as much on X earlier this year, describing a bikini-clad Garibotto as 'La mine' on the social media platform. He's also had other legal issues in the past, including an arrest on firearm and drug charges that resulted in a 78-day stint in a Minnesota jail. The incident took place in September of 2020, when Beasley was still playing for the Timberwolves. During a 'Parade of Homes' tour through his Plymouth, Minnesota neighborhood, an unidentified couple and their 13-year-old child inadvertently pulled up to a roped-off property being rented by Beasley. As they decided to look for another home to view, a man matching Beasley's description allegedly tapped a gun against their car window and told them to get off his property. As they drove off, the couple claimed, they could see Beasley pointing his gun at them. The couple then called 9-1-1. If Beasley is having financial issues, he's not showing it on Instagram, where he and his rumored girlfriend Natalia Garibotto have been seen galivanting on pristine beaches Police arrived at Beasley's rental, where they found 835 grams (1.8 pounds) of marijuana, a 12-gauge shotgun, a handgun, and an automatic rifle, which matched the description of the one he allegedly pointed at the family as they drove away. The search warrant for the surveillance cameras revealed that Beasley was seen retrieving the gun from the garage and returning it to a mudroom closet around the time of the alleged incident. Furthermore, the couple was able to identify both Beasley and the gun, according to police. A 28-year-old from Atlanta, Beasley is a nine-year NBA veteran who has just finished his first season with the Pistons. The former Florida State guard made $6 million this year and has career earnings approaching $60 million. He could still attract NBA teams despite his legal and financial issues. Beasley is coming off his best season as a pro after hitting an impressive 41.6 percent of his 3-point attempts as one of the premiere sixth men in the league.
