The beach will remain closed. In a brief statement the department said given the location of the attack and the nature of the victim’s injuries, a white shark of 3 metres or more was most likely responsible.Mr Gerring was attacked at Surfbreak Lookout when he was mauled just before 4pm on Tuesday. Fellow surfers dragged the 29-year-old fly-in, fly-out worker from the ocean and immediately administered first aid until paramedics arrived.The RAC rescue chopper was sent to the scene however he was taken to Peel Health Campus for treatment by ambulance. A Peel Health Campus spokeswoman said doctors worked to stabilise the man until he was ready to be transported to Royal Perth Hospital.
