A man was hospitalized on Sunday, October 4, 2026, after being bitten twice by a shark while fishing from a kayak near Paradise Cove in Malibu. The victim, whose identity has not been released, hooked a shortfin mako shark approximately two miles offshore around 7:30 a.m. While attempting to release the fish, the shark bit him, causing him to fall into the water. The shark then attacked him a second time, biting his leg before swimming away.
