In the article it says she is also a Fan of kiteboarding, so hopefully she is alright, and makes a speedy recovery.
And yes I did cut and paste it from the inter web.
Lisa Mondy was waiting for a boat to pick her up after coming off her wakeboard in Port Stephens when the shark struck.
"(It) grabbed hold of her face," said Newcastle Rescue Service helicopter crewman Glen Ramplin.
"It's got her a second time on the left upper arm and it's pretty much taken her arm off.
"The bite on her arm is all the way to the bone."
The 24-year-old was wakeboarding with friends off Jimmys Beach, on the northern side of Port Stephens, when the attack happened.
She was conscious but in a serious condition when she arrived at John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle about 1.50pm (AEDT) today.
She has severe injuries to her head, shoulder, neck and left arm, but a hospital spokeswoman said she was stable by about 5.30pm
Ms Mondy works for Port Stephens Parasailing, a leisure company with offices in Nelson Bay.
Owner Ian Cutbush said his son had been wakeboarding with Ms Mondy using one of the company boats when the attack happened.
"I just had a heart attack myself when I learnt what happened," he said.
Witnesses told the ABC that Ms Mondy was dragged under the water twice, before being rescued by her boat crew and taken to the Nelson Bay public wharf.
Paramedics stabilised her at a nearby oval.
According to her Facebook page, Ms Monday is a fan of Sharkwater, a movie that "debunks historical stereotypes and media depictions of sharks as bloodthirsty, man-eating monsters".
Ms Mondy, originally from Wauchope, is also a fan of diving, kitesurfing, sandboarding and surfing.
One of her friends who was waiting outside the hospital told Network Ten she was a shark lover.
"She is aware of them, cares about them deeply," he told the broadcaster.
"They're an animal in the sea. We have to share their home."
Nelson Bay, a popular fishing area, is known for tiger and bull sharks, although there have been sightings of great whites.
Ben Morcom, 31, was attacked by a two-metre-long great white shark in December 2007 while surfing at Jimmys Beach.
0h man i was swimming there today off my boat and saw them skiing
last i heard on the news 'she is in a stable condition'
That's two recent attacks there now, there was a guy bitten just up form there surfing Boulders. Great kiting spot though..
If there was less sharks there would be a lower probability of attack. The shark huggers are basically saying that if the cost of protecting and increasing shark numbers is that a few more humans are killed or mamed then so be it.
I can honestly say that if me or a family member was hurt or worse by a shark , I would have no bitterness or hatred towards sharks or any other animal life.
I love kiting at Hawksnest, and the attack or media sensitization will not stop me from kiting there. And if a shark gets me.... so be it.
I stick by my original comment. You are an ignorant idiot if you suggest that removing sharks from the ocean is man's right.
The real ignorance is the refusal to exept the facts of history for what they are. Comercial fishing has for generations manipulated the populations of marine life whether we like it or not. Great white populations were decimated in the 60's and 70's and changes in fishing practices and protection are now resulting in a huge comeback. Their numbers are increasing rapidly each year. We need to remember its not completely natural so some control may become necessary. Forget the natural balance of the sea, its been gone for decades. I think we could all agree that a steady return to natures status quo would be fantastic however it will take time and the envionmentalist movement is having an impact. Anyone who considers themselves part of this should feel pleased.
mmm feel like a nice peice of Flake for lunch.. Might exercise my rights and go and shoot me some Skippy for dinner after a hard days work on the D9 clearing some scrub some for some of me human brothers that just cant stop rooting and multiplying or turning up, invite or not. Right, wrong, rights - yeah right, the experts endorsed by the UN know it all started from nothin, a pure random event with a big bang. Look at us man, the dominant species that can change the world, with the help of Microsoft we even may one day be Masters of the Universe.
We got bigger fish to fry but those pesky Sharks that want to ruin our fun need to be kept under control and kept on our plate.
What a load of Bull**** in this thread, with a capital B ->
We share this world, we don't own it. We are just one of the thousands of species that populate our planet therefore we are part of it's ecosytem and food chain.
If we are in the wrong place at the wrong time it is perhaps our doing, not the other species - we have a choice of what mediums we move in. We can be in land, water and air.. not all species are that fortunate.
It is ignorant to assume and behave that because of it we have the right to own or kill anything on this planet, or any other for that matter.
Don't get me wrong, I am not a bleeding heart. I've hunted for food, I fish all the time and I eat everything - almost literaly 
- but I do respect where I am threading and accept whatever happens as a consequence. I take care and defend myself when needed but I do not presume to be the dominant species and thus decide who or what lives or dies.
As mentioned here before our ecosystem depends on a fine balance. We are part of it so we must accept the consequences of what we do.
However, I feel deeply sadned by any loss of life or harm caused to anyone or anything, specially kite related. My respect and well wishes go to our fellow kitesurfer / wakeboarder.. may her recovery be fast and complete.
V
and speedy recovery to Lisa
