"Mr. Eisen was scheduled to have surgery on Friday.
His friend, Mr Hill, said watching the attack was "like watching the episode of Mick Fanning in a replay ".
Earlier this month, Fan Ning was attacked during a surfing match in South Africa, where he hit a shark.
He survived without any injuries and the incident was broadcast on video and worldwide.
In an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Mr Hill said: "The whiteboard rises in the air;
The tail bumps around.
"He punched a few times.
He told us when we tried to give him first aid.

"Ballina has had two shark attacks this year, one of which is deadly and the mayor of the area will meet and discuss how to deal with the situation.
While sharks are common in Australia, there are fewer than two deadly attacks per year on average.
