A teenage boy has been taken to hospital in Queensland after landing on a stingray while surfing.

He initially thought the barb had gone into his foot, Sunshine Coast Daily reports.
A spokesperson for Surf Life Saving Queensland said the boy was in a lot of pain when he was treated at the scene, but the stingray barb did not enter his foot.
Instead, he was left with a cut and was taken to Noosa Hospital in a stable condition.
