The surfer was swimming at Maroubra Seaside within the metropolis's east when the shark appeared and bit his board about 7.50am.
Photographs present the surfboard with a sizeable dent and apparently scratched by the shark's enamel following the shut name, which fortunately the surfer escaped from unhurt.
"A detailed encounter with a shark this morning at 7.50am for this surfer at Maroubra Seaside," Randwick Metropolis Council stated in a press release.
"Fortunately no one was injured.
"Lifeguards cleared the water following the incident."
The shut name comes simply weeks after diving teacher Simon Nellist was killed in Sydney's first deadly shark assault in practically six many years.
