...Hannah and her cousin Syb Mundy, 33, from Coolangatta on the Gold Coast, were surfing at Binalong Bay last Sunday when the monster struck. Hannah said she saw the shark only a split second before it lunged at her.
"In my head, I was just like, 'Oh my God, it's a shark'.
"It was massive. Its head was like 2m wide. It just seemed so big," she said.
"I remember it grabbing my leg and I just started screaming for Syb . . . and then all of a sudden I turned around and he was right behind me."
As the 5m great white shook Hannah "like a rag doll", Mr Mundy paddled into the boiling red surf and punched the shark repeatedly until it released the teenager from its jaws.
"I'm just glad the shark didn't like me and spat me back out," Hannah said.

The bodies are yet to be formally identified but relatives yesterday told The Sunday Mail they were saddened by the news of the couple's death.
Neighbours said they had no idea there was a fire at the low-set house where the couple had lived for 16 years..

As the car was driving away, the report said the woman fell off and was run over again. On her third attempt, she finally made it into the vehicle.

In these difficult times for creditors, a Lithuanian debt collector is offering an unconventional service to retrieve arrears: witchcraft.
The Vilnius-based firm has hired Vilija Lobaciuviene, the Baltic nation's most famous self-styled witch, to hunt down companies and individuals who are failing to pay their debts amid the credit crunch.
"There are certain people, who are using this crisis situation and refuse to pay back banks or other companies," said Amantas Celkonas, director of the Skolu Isieskojimo Biuras, or debt collecting bureau.
"Our new employee will help them to understand the situation, reconsider what is right and wrong and act accordingly," he said. "We will also help those who are in real trouble, suffering from psychological impact of bankruptcy and depression."
