Thankfully he has his toes By Claire Metz     NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Florida ( WESH ) — A 22-year-old surfer from Oviedo is the fourth shark bite victim of the year in Volusia County. The area typically sees more shark bites than any other place in the country. The most recent victim bitten near the inlet in New Smyrna Beach Monday was well aware of the area's reputation. 'First thing I thought is, ‘God, I hope my toes are still there,' so I looked back and saw my toes were still there,' Brandon Boncore said.
