Lucky it was a young female. Young males are full of testosterone and are aggressive by nature. They'll bite just for the fun of it- think of male teenagers.

Now when mommy gets big and pregnant- different story. She needs calories, and will focus on bigger blubber-bearing sea mammals - seals and dead whales.

As an experienced fisherman & involved with the ocean for35 years-I would say you were VERY close to being eaten that day.

Okay, since you're so sure. Why don't you tell us all of the reasons. What in your "35 years" experience made you think that? I think you're just spouting shit mate.

jtarwood63 - 7 years ago

a few comments down ppl were arguing about whether a this person was on a surf board or a paddle board. REALLY? DOES IT EVEN FREAKIN MATTER??? THAT BIG SON OF A BITCH IS RIGHT THERE AT HIS DUMB ASS. 1 BUMP AND HE'S IN THE WATER AND GREAT WHITE FOOD. I say, go out, go way out, have fun. Darwins principle will take out all the friggin IDIOTS. WE DONT BREATHE WATER!!! THATS THERE HOME TURF, and I've never been bitten by a shark on the beach... ON.. THE BEACH. Swim in a pool. Surfing, paddle boarding isn't worth all that to me. Call me scared or whatever. You can also call me still alive. Have fun!!!

Just like the other shark experts in the comments have said. The best thing you can do is just stay calm, the next thing you should do is swim up to the shark and punch him right in the gills. Make sure you give him a good shot, you have to really make sure that mother fucker knows who the alpha male is in this ocean.

Jeffrey Ramsower - 7 years ago

J Olender - 8 years ago

Keep pushing your luck. Most people don't realize that when a shark starts circling you they have gone into predatory mode and are seriously considering attacking. It would not be beyond the imagination for a shark to consider a surfboard a free meal; just a dead animal floating on the surface as for kayaks they were never intended for the ocean they were made for rivers and lakes, not oceans.

Tony Canale - 8 years ago

punch the person you're with in the nose. that's how you get out of a shark attack

Dick Rathcock - 8 years ago

Actually, to panic and start thrashing around and freaking out is the worst response. That will only encourage the shark that you are wounded prey and an easy target. It's the exact same reason that you do not turn and run from a grizzly bear. You will only automatically trigger the bear's instinct to chase and you will be caught and mauled, guaranteed. With the shark as with the bear, remain calm and stand your ground. Should the shark attempt to bite you, punch or kick it in the eye area or the gills and it will break off the attack and retreat. I live and surf on the Oregon Coast and have had two shark encounters (close proximity , but not attacks) in the last 20 years. If it is my fate to die by shark attack, then that is my fate. But I will not live in fear or stop surfing.

MD Diablos - 6 years ago

You can't punch or kick a shark effectively under water. Another thing is when a shark like a great white attacks it's eyes roll over so that they aren't damaged. Reaching the gills would be near impossible since your facing the front of the shark during an attack and the pain from a shark bite is hell no matter how much pressure the animal puts into the bite.

Carlos Flores - 7 years ago

Welp just let me tell ya all about mah boy DiCaprio... That som of bitch didn't run and he even had a god damn piece of iron with him, shot that bastard bear more times that I could count and still got his ass handed to him... But he survived. That boy sureeee was one lucky fella I tell you.

Santiago Rodriguez Guillen - 7 years ago

Dick Rathcock good theory, but nobody would do it, after all how long you will be there? hours, days, whatever the shark feels like it

Kane Campbell - 7 years ago

When I got bumped by a shark while surfing I first thought WTF! Then, should I get out these waves are good. Then, WTF is wrong with me. Then, paddling like a lunatic to get the fuck out of there. Then, scrabbling in shallow water on loose rocks trying to get to land. Good to theorize, but unless it happens to you it's all theory. Only way you'll really know how to react is if it happens. But I see what you mean.

Eduardo Bonilla - 7 years ago

thats a nice way to put it. But anyways you have balls if you've seen several sharks and still went back out. i respect the ocean and its residents so i stay away from the waters.

Damian Silveira - 7 years ago

Dick Rathcock great comment

Hyeonsik Li - 7 years ago

Dick Rathcock but what if you're in deeper water and it attacks you from below with idk 50km/h? Or if you are just a swimmer. And there are 2 sharks very interested in you.

I love pointing out fake videos as much as the next guy but I can't see why you would say that about this one, unless you're just trolling. For one thing, nothing really happens that is unrealistic, shark swims up, looks around and leaves. I would agree if the guy jumped in the water and tornado kicked the shark in the face.

sharks aint no prob maaaan all ya gotta do is punch em in the nose ok

M Mckissack yeah punch it in the nose with the one arm you have remaining.

Paul EJ - 8 years ago

That was a juvenile great white of about 7-8ft.
The chance of it aggressively hitting a guy on a that paddle board were VERY small.
You can tell that by how quick it fucked off when he hit the water with his paddle.
They have very good eyesight and and that size they are fish eaters.

Jdjs Dhd - 7 years ago

Paul EJ
I'm not sure what your sources are, but sharks have very poor vision, hence why I am advised not to spear fish in the reef on days with low water visibility. Sharks mainly rely on smell

AnomieX - 7 years ago

Paul EJ is absolutely right, this was a baby that's no more than a year old. Juvenile GW's feed on fish for their first year or two, then they transition to eating primarily seals and sea lions. "Human" is not on a shark's menu, the people who get bitten off the coast of southern California are just unlucky to be on the wrong end of a curious baby shark that wants to figure out what you are, not eat you.

staik n chips - 7 years ago

L i heard most attacks on humans are from transitioning juveniles white sharks to adults. as they are just switching from fish to larger mammals they have not yet learnt what is edible yet and come in for a test bite.

Hyeonsik Li - 7 years ago

Paul EJ aren't juveniles more aggressive and interested.

EAKSTA81G - 8 years ago

he's on a paddle board big deal but did y'all see how close to shore he was......

Yall are all incorrect. The man is not on a kayak or surf board, he is on a paddle board. I professionally kayak and I also surf and own a paddle board its pretty much a large surf board that you stand on. On that note i wouldnt want to be in my kayak near a shark, they can flip you over and still eat you.

GoMiGman - 9 years ago

Lucky it was only an 8ft baby great white and not a 20ft hungry mama who would've chomped that kayak in half like a rubber seal!

Pacific Coast - 6 years ago

from what ive heard bigger sharks are safer to be around as they are older and are smarter and know whats a human and whats a seal

William Ward - 7 years ago

8 ft is considered a threat to humans by Lifeguards as that is when they start to show interest in larger prey like sea lions, etc. If an 8 ft shark is spotted, swimmers and surfers are pulled from the water and a mandatory beach closing happens. If that was a 20 foot shark, that kayaker probably would have had a much different encounter.

Aaron Barlow - 7 years ago

It looked pretty big.

Aaron Ross - 9 years ago

he was on a kyak

shawn Cramer - 9 years ago

am I the only person who watch this video who has the brains to see that he's not a surfer? he is not on a surfboard at all. he is in a f%#@ing kayak.

Tim Lewis - 9 years ago

+shawn Cramer nope. Stand-up paddle board. It's a Hobie racing SUP. Looks like a CFX series; definitely carbon-epoxy. Do an image search for: Hobie CFX SUP.

Not sure what you mean about the point, if you've never seen one in a surfboard then you should do an image search for: surfboard. Pointier noses dig up less water giving you a chance to recover. Round noses are a retro/longboard thing.
You must be confusing it with the rocker(the bow in the board). Racing SUPs have virtually none so as to maximize speed. Even if it did you wouldn't see it from the top. And let me tell you from experience that if your riding a 10ft+ board then no amount of convex is going to save you from pearling a heavy drop.

You can tell he is standing because the paddle is being held vertically and out to the side and yet you can't see his arms; he's using it to help balance and the camera is below his waist. If he were sitting in a kayak you would see his knees, the paddle would be horizontal across his lap, and there would be a handle on the nose of the kayak.

shawn Cramer - 9 years ago

dude I want some of the shit you are smoking. the guy def never stands up. any jackass can see he stays sitting down and you can clearly see when he pans the camera in front of him that is the tip of a kayak. I have never seen a surf board with that kind of point on the front cuz as a wave lifts you at an angle when u go to side it that much of a point would dig in the water and flip u the fuck off. there is a reason surf boards are rounded in the front rather then tipped like that.

Tim Lewis - 9 years ago

+shawn Cramer Not a kayak. Don't know why anybody would be standing up in kayak.
It's a stand up paddle board which is pretty much just a wide surfboard.

Abby Young - 9 years ago

Sharks dont randomly attack humans for no reason lol its only if the shark feels threatened or mistakes humans/ movement in the water as its natural prey then it would possibly attack. Granted it would be an extremely scary thing to witness in person lol but the guy stayed cool and therefore the shark did ^.^

Albad Einsteam - 7 years ago

There is a reason why divers don't stay long in shark infested waters. I say there is a 100% chance to be attacked by shark - depending on time. If you stay in a area with sharks.

hornymanonfire - 8 years ago

if they are hungry and you are around they will attack you. Only reason why there arent more attacks is cause humans generally dont swim that far off shore like where this man is, luckily he was in a kayak.

Abby Young - 8 years ago

+jet632 I am a shark!

jet632 - 8 years ago

+Abby Young how do you seem to know how a shark thinks

Abby Young - 9 years ago

I do believe they are unpredictable but I do not believe they purposely say to themselves "oh look a human! Who needs seals when we can select that human being right there for no reason whatsoever! ". They see splashing in the water or smell a bit of blood and instinct says thats food.

TheBeofox - 11 years ago

great white circling around you is not a good thing bro. Sharks can attack you by the side, most of the times they do this just to take a chunk of you and figure if you are a seal or not. But if it circles you, it has the intention of head-butting you then biting you from the side, until you are lifeless. When sharks circle something, it means they want you dead.

001GenLee - 11 years ago

On a surfboard or kayak, sharks think you're a seal pup or otter, and instantly think...dinner. They're animals just like cats & dogs are. WE are above the animal kingdom. You don't know what's in an animal's mind....it can strike at any time...like a snake striking at you.

I was swimming off New Brighton Beach in CA when I was 15, been taking life guard training since I was 11. Was out just doing a good 50m swim, stopped to float, and then I kicked something, from my knee to my toe, like sand paper. Next morning, front page of the Santa Cruz Sentinel, a picture of New Brighton beach, and a great white fin, said it was 12-15ft. I kicked that son of a bitch.

Dave Colton - 11 years ago

And that is advice from the marine scientists who study these amazing creatures every day...they are gorgeous.

Dave Colton - 11 years ago

actually....he's giving good advice...splashing around would attract the shark. it would be like a seal or fish in distress. because he's keeping still, the shark is holding its distance trying to get more information. if he started splashing then chances are the shark would have made an attack. even more if your on a surfboard. the shape of the board from the sharks point of view is like the shadow of a seal.

onegolfxpert - 11 years ago

why does man think he knows what an animal is thinking or doing??? We have no idea. Come on now!

dryfirefive pointfivesix - 11 years ago

keep it up, and people wonder why they get eaten alive, morons leave the sharks alone

Alex Hood - 11 years ago

I've always heard the best thing you can do to stay safe around a white shark is make sure the shark knows that you know it's there. Crazy video. I would've been freaking out.

Whoa... and the fins were down that is an aggressive posture. The camera in the water probably spooked him... I used to like swimming in the ocean... f that son.

tessamersus - 11 years ago

Yes, yes, I know my reaction was stupid. If you stay calm, mostly they move off. My reaction was instant, primal, gut level, FEAR. We never know if we are a "flight" or "fight" kinda person. Wow. Now I know which one I am. I had no idea up to that point, no one does. I'm not proud of leaving my reaction and leaving my dive buddy. My experience was a stark reminder (shark reminder) of the chance we take when we go into a place where we are no longer at the top of the food chain.

tessamersus - 11 years ago

I had this experience myself snorkling on the Great Barrier Reef. I got lost in the beauty of the shallower waters of the reef and didn't realize until too late that I had reached the scary sudden end of the reef and into deep water. At that same moment a great big freakin' great white bitey shark speeding directly my way, had a broken a fin and was HUNGRY. Me=easy pickings. I shat myself & speed-flippered back to the boat.Then I remembered my dive buddy was still out there, unknowing. Oops...

paddle boarding

Chris Jack - 11 years ago

I probably would have panicked and tried to swim to shore, end up getting myself eaten. This surfer was calm, cool and collected. Handled himself well.

Mickey Stowell - 11 years ago

I've forgotten the surfers name but he is indeed a true waterman and more than just a surfer. The whole story is that he saw the shark there the day before and returned about the same time the next day with the Go Pro camera which he attached to his paddle (he was on SUP). At the beginning of the actual video there was another shark there first but left when the GW showed up. This shark is about 8' long and has been around San Onofre, Ca for several years. Young GW's come there a lot for fish.

Caleb Brisco - 11 years ago

G Suarez - 12 years ago

the shark was checking you out, nice one... I never encounter a WS underwather, but I spent a lot of time free diving in some of their territories, judging by his movements you did the right thing by not paddleling away, he was interested on you and my guess is that if you were to paddle away abruptly he would taken an exploratory bite. That was an awesome video, great experience thanks for sharing

united13james - 12 years ago

my mistake, it is not an sup, it is a long distance regular paddle board, only the surfer is standing on it and filming with a camera attached to a pole, u know a regular paddle board used to paddle races in hawaiian channels or in california to race from manhattan beach to catalina island for example...not a kayak though

I encountered a 4 foot sand bar shark in nj on my bodyboard, I WAS SCARED SHITLESSS. I thought i would stay calm, but its a lot differant once your out there. You have to give repsect to this guy. Him staying in the position was a good idea because the movement back would provoke the shark to follow him and maybe try a taste

Markie Elsdon - 12 years ago

sharks in general are pretty harmless, peanuts are more deadly, however i would be getting out of the water as quick as i could if i was you, even knowing the odds of them attacking i wouldn't risk it, i'd film a peanut floating in the water all day long tho, now that takes balls haha

sethticlees - 12 years ago

That ain't no dogfish you flipping retard!

Joseph Chafardon - 12 years ago

First of all, kid, if you were any type of Biologist with any experience in a marine setting, you'd know it's "dogfish," not "dog fish." Second of all, it isn't a dogfish. Both smooth and spiny dogfish have a much more narrow snout. The caudal fin is also way off as well...I could go on, but I think I've proven my point. Those of us who actually went to school need not be disgraced by your internet lies.

Rocket Roger and the Pocket Rockets - 12 years ago

If you're such an expert, perhaps you could enlighten us to the species? Because I thought dogfish we're not as large, so coloured, or a type of lamniform shark (such as a great white), as is clearly pictured in the footage!

blackelk7373 - 12 years ago

your daddy is a piece of shit disguised in a uniform. Your are following in his footsteps. We work hard, millions of us, and pay taxes. What a shame we have parasites like your family. The ultimate form of welfare. Never put in a hard days work but always have your hands out. As for finding me....my picture is to the left, my name is Ethan and I live in the small town of Fairbanks Alaska. Im in the phone book hahahahah That should help you sweety : )

10th Mountain US ARMY Rangers,I will FUCK your world up,with one finger mister SHEEP!

blackelk7373 - 12 years ago

to call yourself a war veteran because you were in Iraq is like me saying I am an nfl veteran because I played high school ball for 4 years. Your a fucking liar and you should be ashamed of yourself. Hundreds of thousands of real war veterans rolling in their fucking graves when you try and feed people that bullshit.

THEOZ2106 - 12 years ago

there was no pretending in Iraq buddy...

blackelk7373 - 12 years ago

what? rather drive around in a humvee and pretend your in a war than swim with sharks? /agree

THEOZ2106 - 12 years ago

Would rather go back to Iraq then to do what your doing in this vid,major BALLS...

van3169 - 12 years ago

maybe but i don't think, and i may be wrong, that it would take such a great effort for the shark to push him off the board and into the water; it's still a board, not even a canoe.

CravenD15 - 12 years ago

Yeah doubt he was surfing, cause nothing to surf, plus murky water. You surf in murky water you're asking to get attacked, pure and simple.

mike reina - 12 years ago

that dude is just asking to get his legs popped off. but I give you credit, I'll never ever do that shit while surfing.

Sydney King - 12 years ago

Fuck. That.

jimbojims - 12 years ago

hes not surfing, hes on a paddleboard and no part of his body is in the water besides to film a bit underwater. he may as well be in a kayak or canoe, either way the sharks not gonna bother you. now actually being a surfer in that situation would be effin scary because half your body is always in the water all the time. totally different experience and exposure between the two

Alex Wendt - 12 years ago

I would have shit a little.

TheEdwardacevedo1 - 12 years ago

@multibelle22 panicking is the worst thing to do in that situation, sharks have tiny pores on top of their mouths that allow them to sense fear, panic and other things. If he were to the panic the shark might have attacked him. as crazy as it sounds the best thing to do is to remain calm, keep on eye on it and slowly make your way to shore. crazy what us surfers go through sometimes lol. not that ive encountered a great white, just threshers

scaryist fuckn thing ever i stay the fuck outta the sea

numnutz78 - 13 years ago

@MajesticAndRestless your idea of a "shark whiste" has been tried in south africa only with ultrasonic sounds. it works close up to the shark to deter them but not on a larger scale. i say just let them be. we treat the ocean as a playground when in fact it is the sea creatures domain, IT IS THERE HOME, we know they are there so we accept the risk when we go in there simple as chief. to be honest i have no interest in your race or religion, there are idiots in every culture!!!!

numnutz78 - 13 years ago

im sorry about your mate but when all is said an done he was in the ocean, im presuming he knew that great whites lived there. the shark didnt come on land an kill him your mate was in the sharks domain. you cant blame the shark for doing what comes naturally. oh yeah and theres far more evolution in a shark by the way, if you know anything about history you will know that homosapien's are about 10,000 years old whereas sharks are about 300 million years old theres far more evolution in them.

MajesticAndRestless - 13 years ago

The only problem with having shark whistle stations off the coastlines of major surfing cities would be the effects on OTHER fish and this possibly changing their migratory patterns. Sigh, "Nature always finds a way," is a quote from the book Jurrasic Park that lingers in my mind when. Nearly every culture believes we as a human population have the DOMINION over all other species on this planet.... why dont you? I surf year round and am sick of the shark threat and we can find a solution.

MajesticAndRestless - 13 years ago

My PEACEFUL solution to this shark problem is this... a SHARK WHISTLE. Like a dog whistle, this would detour the sharks away from land masses where the major population sites converge on a regular basis, You could have Shark Whistle stations offshore one mile of major cities. WITHOUT killing the sharks. But considering I'm poor - middle class and not a mad scientist... I can't create and market this shark whistle.

MajesticAndRestless - 13 years ago

Look Crisp PEE. The ideology I'm trying to spur is this.... what would happen if the oceans were done away with sharks that have been known to attack humans throughout the years such as Great whites, tigers, and bull sharks. So the killer whale population increases? Dolphins increase? Tunas increase in population size? Some fecal matter from these evil predators doesnt enter into our ocean on a biological level. The answer is.. WE ALL DONT KNOW! BUT PEOPLE ARE DYING AND BEING INJURED.

MajesticAndRestless - 13 years ago

@crispee1978 Also, you are telling me, "you don't know how much evolution has gone into these perfect survival machine"? It should be said as machines.... but none the less... how much evolution went into creating humans? The ABSOLUTE killing machines? how much evolution went into creating Hitler, Saddam Hussein, or Mao of China? These people were killing machines and WE AS A WORLD ERADICATED THEM RIGHTFULLY! I say this because I new the guy who was killed be a GREAT WHITE at Solana Beach'08

MajesticAndRestless - 13 years ago

I'm the uneducated one? You spelled been as "bee".... Ok, so "enlightened one"... tell me... what would happen if somehow, a Great White Shark plague was created and they all died off? Now, as for me being a "Philistine"? I study not only Christianity, but Islam, and the works of Buddha. Sounds like you discriminate against these people considering you called me out as one and I'm not. You call great whites "the most amazing creatures"? What about mankind? What about dogs?

numnutz78 - 13 years ago

@MajesticAndRestless because they are by far and away the most amazing creatures in the planet. you my friend are an uneducated philistine. personally i think its people like you who should be wiped,(note correct spelling of wiped) off the map. your talking about a creature which has bee around for millions of years before the dinosaurs. you cant even begin toimagine how much evolution has gone into this perfect survival machine.

Black Magic - 13 years ago

@MultiBelle22 At first it would be a good idea to get the fuck out from the water but sharks are attracted to splashes so i think this was a wise decicion

dreakheart - 13 years ago

you stare at him and he stares at you and thats when the attack comes , not from the front but from the side , and the other 2 raptors eeeh sharks you didnt even know where there xD

bradley glaister - 13 years ago

sounds like me on the toilet

MajesticAndRestless - 13 years ago

ummm and why are these things on the endangered species list? so lets say they are whiped off the map... so a few more Orcas or Killer Whales get more food? Whats wrong with that? I'll never understand why we cant take big sharkies outta der!!!
