I was wondering at what point (time) of the vid he realized a great white was in the water...and how could he know it was a great white?

He did the worst thing possible.. running away like that wpuld make the shark think he is a seal.. the best thing would had been to go under the water so that the shark knows he isn't a meal n leave him alone

Seriously why bother getting out of the water when you know there are sharks in the area but choose to go out anyway? The one you don't see is the one that'll get you! Where's the logic?

climber bob - 6 years ago

I'm confused on how he noticed the shark when it was behind him, unless he had a monitor on the front of his board with the gopro, which I'd doubt. Also, from what we saw, are you SURE it was a Great White, or was that identified some other way than the video, such as they knew a white was hanging out. They've been doing that at San Onofre for quite a few years now.

I'm just amazed. What goes through someone's mind when they get up and say to themselves "I've got an idea, lets go into the sea where I know there are man eating sharks, I'll dress in black and flap around doing my best to look like an injured seal, and just hope that I don't get eaten alive. After all, I get to paddle for about 50ft, so that's well worth risking my life for".... Jeez, some people treat their lives like they are two a penny. Plain crazy.

TJ Anderson - 6 years ago

Man, you can paddle FAST! Well done, bro.

runway heading - 6 years ago

Glad you didn’t get tasted! Knowing Sharks as I do, I would never go out in those waters dressed like a seal! Especially sitting there, feet dangling in the water! You could easily e mistaken for a turtle. I pray for your safety!

KOOL BROTHA - 6 years ago

DrCalviny - 6 years ago

Well that must have been a huge shock! If he wanted to eat you, he'd already caught you.

J M - 6 years ago

No, that's the closest to being to a shark that you actually knew about. Surfing amongst Great Whites? I hope you end up shark food next time. Fu*king idiot.

WHAT.......THE .......FUCK.......IS IT WITH WHITE PEOPLE?!?!?......
Its like, you are engineered to go directly into danger. "There is sharks out there"......white peoples response...."Wait, let me get my swimsuit and long board." Black peoples response..."shiiiit, I will be right here on land!!!!"...... "There's a masked man in the forest with a chainsaw" ...white peoples response..."well, does he have a jacket, its a bit nippy out there, better go have a look see if he's OK" ......black peoples response..... "Wheres my damn gun, ....crazy ass people doin dumb shit"......Geezus white people take a hint......stay out of harms way, you will live longer....fuck!

Bee Kendricks - 6 years ago

Ichtyornis Crétacé Lmao, source......source??? Are you fuckin kidding me??? OK you want a source, right here on YouTube look up "shark attack victim" they will all be .....you guessed it.....white. Good nite to you too pal

Ichtyornis Crétacé - 6 years ago

That stat is made up right? Anyway if you're joking who cares... good night

Bee Kendricks - 6 years ago

Ichtyornis Crétacé ah, sure let's see.....almost 98% shark attacks are white people, mountain climbers have almost been all white.....the list is long. But honestly, my original statement was a joke....so instead of getting your panties ruffled just laugh and move on

Ichtyornis Crétacé - 6 years ago

Let's think rationally here instead of getting emotional guys! Do you have any proof for your statement "white people look for ways to die" ? Any statistics?

Bee Kendricks - 6 years ago

sumaehs king Right, I'm the dumb ass but its always without fail, a white person that is doing the dumb shit.....like getting attacked by sharks, or shooting up a school or movie theater. Thing is, I speak with great diction and have an awesome vocabulary. So you will never here a statement as botched as "white people be crazy"....... #Idiot

It's a proven fact that surf boards appear as prey to sharks. For the life of me, I cannot understand the desire to do this as a hobby. You're playing with Fire. Eventually you will get burned. To each his own... it's just sad that when a shark attacks, authorities will quickly dispatch to go kill it. I'll never understood that. People enter their world and appear as prey. Duh!

Funny how us divers and surfers wear wet suits that match the color of a seal, the whites favorite dinner. They see color, so it might be smart if we wear something bright for them to know we arent.

xevious2501 - 6 years ago

I just dont understand peoples logic concerning sharks, believing just because a shark is juvenile it wont be much of a threat. Its a fish, a predatory fish. if it can, it will, in the least test bite what it thinks is a possible meal. well over 100 people are attacked by sharks every year and the count is ever growing, mostly due to people being very arrogant and blissfully naive.

This is why I never go in the ocean. I've been traumatized too many times. I've bren stalled by a shark in the Bahamas, come face to face with a school of stingrays circling my feet, surrounded by jellyfish, stung by sea lice, preyed on by Skates, while sitting on a floaty -- bounced in the air by a dolphin (actually cool), and had skin contact with an unidentified slimy creature.

Jody Hunt - 6 years ago

you go out there and play around in the water like their food, if it did attack you, it is just too easy to not feel sorry for you...i will never understand the price of your life or quality of life is worth "surfing". i would assume your life and quality of life has a greater value. even if you do not consider your life is worth more, i am sure you have loved ones who do feel that way.

Ryan Taylor - 6 years ago

Jody Hunt sounds like you live in a bubble, go outside your comfort zone and enjoy life

Jess M - 6 years ago

Jody Hunt surfing is a lifestyle. You’d never understand. Plus that’s like saying we “play around on land like their food” talking about all deadly land animals. We don’t have sharp claws or teeth to take on bears, mountain lions, wolves etc, so it’s not as if we’re soooo safe on land either. Neither is our domain. We don’t level up on land or in water. People die everyday driving their car, going for a walk, having a heart attack, at least if he’s surfing he’s doing what he loves and not living in some stupid nonsensical bubble which won’t save him anyway. “ It would be so easy not to feel sorry for u”, I’d feel the same way watching u get ripped to shreds by a land animal for being on their turf.

LtRiot - 6 years ago

all these preteens from Kansas saying "that's not a white shark" and guys who have never surfed a day in their life tellin this guy why he shouldn't "dress like a seal." You wear a black wetsuit because its fckn cold and it retains heat. The men in grey suits are as local as we are. They are so commonplace that we call them that so kids don't get scared off when we bring em up. Surfed the break south of this one everyday for years, often times alone and at dusk. If they wanted to eat you, the water is deep enough that you would never see them coming. If you see one, you call it a day. You don't surf near seals. That's bout it. Only ever worried about em when I was in Hawaii. I would exterminate Jellys and Rays before sharks. fckn little assholes

I'm not saying surfing South Africa in winter isn't retarded but the ones in cali don't have that reputation or history of maneatin

Pretty funny!!! That sentence is an instant classic: "People's ignorance never seizes to amaze me." (I'm assuming you intentionally spelled "ceases" that way.)

Jameson Cross - 6 years ago

That's a close to a shark that you know of. Juveniles are more dangerous. They are less fearful and will take more chances. Not to mention have to compete for food against bigger sharks, so they are most likely more hungry.

All that arm flopping looks like lunch I would think to shark.

william dohn - 6 years ago

On a side note I have always wondered what would happen if you had reallllllllllly bad ass hot sauce and poured it in the water. Would it make the shark go away or make you taste better to it...

mikedehoogh black flag race photos - 6 years ago

Yep, that's how fast I'D be paddling as well. Of course... I'd never be out there in the 1st place! Dressing up as a giant seal and splashing about in known shark waters just doesn't seem like a productive idea to me. Just takes that one exploratory bite! But what do I know.

scrat 437 - 6 years ago

This surfer went out after a "winter rain"...never a good idea to go surfing immediately after rain especially if the water where you surf is muddy ...the runoff, particularly by rivers carries with it the scent of any dead or dying land animals into the bay or ocean....Sharks of course are the bloodhounds of the sea!

Tye Seeley - 6 years ago

Thankful you were not hurt. Constructively, paddling on boards gives the profile of a seal or sea lion to Sharks and even a test bite can be fatal. I don’t know what the answer is to reduce the risk to surfers is but hope something is in development.

Not offense meant, we all make mistakes and it’s always nice to learn new things.

Pro fessional - 6 years ago

the title doesnt really fit the video well. Yes there is something there... is it a shark??? Maybe yes maybe no. The so called shark is not even coming towards him. No danger at all. He is just making fuss over nothing. Thats why....if the so called shark appeared right next to him or from a distance but coming towards him, that it d been a different story. By the way, NOT every shark is great white.... and how does he know it s a great white anyway????? lol

William Henning - 6 years ago

OBAMA HATER Plenty of things are dangerous ( risking being attacked by a shark by swimming at a beach being far less dangerous then most activities ). Doesn't mean you should live your life in fear of ever doing those things. Regardless, of how you live your life, why would you actively WANT people to be killed or injured for simply doing what they love? Only a psychopath thinks that way.

OBAMA HATER - 6 years ago

WHATS IDIOTIC IS YOUR COMMENT WILLIAM, AND THE STUPID SURFER WHO AT HIS AGE SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO SWIM AROUND THAT FAR FROM SHORE ALONE AND IN A BLACK WET SUIT LOOKING LIKE A SEAL ( TYPE UNIMPORTANT) AND THE FAVORITE FOOD OF A GREAT WHITE SHARK WHICH IT SEEMS IN THIS DAY AND AGE HAVE BEEN SPOTTED A LOT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YRS OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST, AND BETWEEN SAN DIEGO AND GUADALUPE THAT IS A HAVEN FOR THESE BEASTS BUT FOOLS STILL GO IN THE WATER AND THAT FAR FROM SHORE AND PPL LIKE ME AND DIABEETUS4LIFE HAVE THE BALLS TO SAY WHAT YOUR AFRAID TO SAY CAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN BEATEN OR BRAINWASHED INTO NOT SAYING WHAT IS THE OBVIOUS, BY MORONS WHO ARE AS STUPID AS A MUD FENCE AND THAT IS A STONE COLD FACT............................

Michael Towle - 6 years ago

Dude, Been there, felt that.

I saw what had to be a Great White back in the 1980s in Ormond Beach, Florida. Before people start to howl, it was in late December when the Right whales were migrating off the coast (within sight of shore). The sharks followed to consume the newborns. OCEARCH tracked a Great White in Jax Beach within the surf line (the GPS put it in the parking lot) in the last 10 years, so big Whites do lurk along the surfline in the Florida winter.

The shark surfaced 100' from me, just like in the Jaws movie, head 3' out of the water, big black eyes, I am guessing a 14 footer. I did not poop my wetsuit, but shallow-paddled in until I was in 6" of water. Nobody on shore saw a thing.

Everybody smirks at my tale, so I don't like to tell it.

I had two physical encounters with sharks while surfing in Ormond Beach in the 80s. I never reported them, mostly because they did not draw blood. One of them bit through my leash. I still have it.

Anytime you are in the water at the beach, there is a shark within 500' of you. Don't sweat it, they are small and have no interest in humans. The crabs and jellyfish are more of a problem :)

Boo Ya - 6 years ago

why do you all keep surfing knowing there's sharks out there

Gage Westerhouse - 6 years ago

Boo Ya don't knock them for their choice. The only people they are endangering are themselves. You can't live your life planning around dangerous situations. That is no life.

Gage Westerhouse - 6 years ago

Boo Ya because they want to surf. The risk is worth the reward to them.

Gage Westerhouse - 6 years ago

Ryan Armstrong for the record, a majority of Great White attack victims don't see the shark until they get hit. Sure, most surfers never even see a shark, but that hardly means a shark has never seen them.

Scott Rock - 7 years ago

Your fifth Great white in two years. Dude Stop going out by your fucking self. Just stop it! I know your a California guy that thinks "Ahhh! Great Whites don't bother you unless their hungry" Right?? Well let me ask you this, How the fuck do you know if it hungry or not and that your not next on his dinner plate. Just stop surfing by yourself. Jesus Christ.

The 6 million dollar question is why would you want to swim in the sea with the sharks? And if it got you by its jaws it would surely be a case of "you asked for it ".

U know what, bring some fish there and if u see some shark,throw them into the water lol

I know people have the right to surf but there are some locations in the world where it's just really not safe guys.

Everyone thinks it will never be them & the only way you're guaranteed to be right is to stay away from areas with big sharks!

Yeah, my dad used to tell me about how when he lived in California and would go surfing there was a super social Great White that would always swim beside and brush up against people. Only ever attacked one guy's board. The board was toast, the surfer was completely unharmed, and my dad was gone lol

Laurent C - 7 years ago

One of the rules of surfing in sharky area is: Avoid surfing after it rains because this causes the water to be murky. The low visibility will make it more difficult for sharks to determine whether you're fish or human. http://www.surfscience.com/topics/surfing-lifestyle/life-as-a-surfer/avoiding-shark-attacks/

Me and my mate where sessions a small spot in south Australia and we saw a sting ray and we thought it was a shark and that was the quickest I have every paddled to shore in my life but we went strait back out after someone told us they saw it to and it was only a sting ray all I saw was this big black mass in the side of the wave out the corner of my eye was so funny and scary never seen a shark thank god

Sorry my friend, but as one of my favorite surfing spots in the world, I've been there many times. Never saw any "juvenile great whites" but saw tons of dolphins riding the waves and they do look very similar in the water. Do you happen to have any close ups or teeth marks by chance. :)

I've seen many sharks and great whites swim past or come close for a look at ya. it's fine, they aren't after humans if they were we would be losing a surfer every day.

Jones - 7 years ago

I've been there; the feeling is unnerving to say the least. I actually accidentally kicked one, when pushing up to get back on my board, at the end of a ride. Had I not kicked it, who knows what would of happened. It circled me erratically 3 times, then swam off, just as abruptly as it appeared. It was the last time I surfed in California.

I grew up surfing in FL, so the whole cold water, wet suits, kelp beds, deep dark water, seals/sea lions, rocks, and mammal eating sharks were all so foreign to me. I've seen my fair share of sharks in FL, but that was something different entirely.

I was on a short board (much less floatation) and was also alone, but had friends on the beach. At first, I thought it was just a seal, but when I saw it was a white shark, I did all I could to get my hands and feed out of the water, which only made my board sink lower. Needless to say, it ruined my surf trip.

Benjamin Lelouis - 7 years ago

he wouldn't have followed me.. i woulda left a massive shit streak the likes this world has yet to see..., and it woulda scared the shark off.

p1t - 7 years ago

idc how unlikely it is for a shark to attack me, i'm simply not going to take any chances. i also know humans are not on their diet but shark curiosity of what we are and if we may be pray is usually answered by them having a nip and that can turn out really bad
