Warning: This story contains graphic images.

A Kiwi surfer has spoken out after surviving an attack from a shark in Northland on Friday.

"I just started screaming and I told all the boys 'get out of the water'," said Andrew 'Nugget' Brough who was flown to the hospital after the attack.

"Its tail flipped over and it was just underneath my board and I just couldn't move. I looked down and I see my blood all through the water and I was like: I am in trouble here".

He had been surfing off the popular Baylys Beach surf spot near Dargaville when the shark attacked.

Mr Brough received bites to his arm and hand, but managed to get back to shore.

It's not known what type of shark it was.
