Surfers Exit Water After I Warn Them White Shark Approaches

- In this Vlog style entry, I narrate the events as they occur live.
On Feb. 7th, 2021, while everyone else is watching the Super Bowl, I head out to an empty beach in search of whales and sharks. I end up warning a couple surfers about a white shark that is approaching them.
The surfers left the water after the shark came close. While, I don't believe the shark was purposely hunting them, it's wise to leave the water if there is prey in the vicinity.
Special thanks to photographer Amanda Elkins for capturing the audio and video as this occurred. / amandapelkins

This should be an official "shark safety" program employed by the coastguard. Probably a lot cheaper (and less infinitely less cruel) than miles and miles of netting.
Honestly smart idea
I wonder if you can see it in the Pacific Ocean waters where is not as clear.
@@CuriousCat777 this is in the pacific, this dude flies his drone off the coast of socal
I would only try surfing if one of these drones was on the lookout for sharks lol
Probably would need a lot more infrastructure around it though... like how drones are charged and rotated. and perhaps AI assisted technology to identify sharks instead of human eyes only.
I love how he says, *”Hey guys, just to let you know you got a shark right here, okay?”* as casually as *“would you like fries with that?”*
if he screamed shark shark its coming for you they would opaniced..
Actually, the fries kill more people than sharks.
@@chrisbranciere2747 yeah.... I went to Mac Donald’s yesterday..... you should have seen the teeth on those bad boy fries! 😂😂
Fries ? Someone said fries ?
@@davidhammond3738 sad
This is an amazing channel. I can’t believe you’re the first one like it.
Don’t think he is?
Omg, if I ever swim in the ocean , I would hope that you are around to warm me of sharks!!! Thank you for what you do!🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️
@@suzannetjarks3324 you know swimming 🙄
There is a guy that uses a drone to spot sharks at the beaches in Australia.
Love the channel
So my 8 year old daughter is fascinated with sharks and now watches your videos. Shes straight A student and very serious about what she wants to do. You encourage her thanks!
That made my day! Thanks so much for sharing that! I try! :-)
Dude, this channel is a breath of fresh air from politics and gaming channels for me. You're so damned privileged living so close to these magnificent creatures. I hope the channel grows and we get more content. All the best to you.
Politics are toxic.
Probably one of them "illegal" alien sharks from South America coming here to vote for Biden !!! Lol
I only wanted to be loved. To love like the love I give but my love won't tell me nothing but I'm crazy.
It's beautiful and serene. I all ways dreamed of living near or on the beach.
I also dreamed that the man I love that shared all this with me... Wanted me and to have someone that he could confide in. Tell his secrets to. A lady to share his life. His and their (our) dreams to. To have that 1 special person in life that would always be there for each other. All the songs written about me and us... Our lives and our past, what made us who we are now.... Who I thought we would be.
Shark swims back out after they get out of water, thinking he was going to warn lads about the UFO over head, good Bruce
Plot twist: The shark buys a drone and shows up at TheMalibuArtist's home filming him thru his windows.
Ba haaaaa 😂😂🤣
Lmao.
I wonder what the shark would name his channel? 😆
@@flobieshumbah9180 sunbathing seal channel 😂
The fact that you were not warning them unnecessarily but just went to them when it was actually close, makes it even better. Subscribed.
You could get tons of views if you did “surfer/swimmer” reaction videos showing them just how close they were to the shark.
Please, don't do that.
@@jrodowens y not
They usually just wanna check you out and then swim away. I’ve had them brush up against me before
It shouldn’t be about the views, it should be about doing a positive thing with his work. Don’t try to mold him into a cringy youtuber man.
something tells me this guy isn't overly concerned with wasting his precious time
Amazing footage
If you yell at the shark i am not a seal you will be OK///Apparently the Shark is not at fault if it eats you ... it was a mistake
Thanks for the nice video. Being a scuba diver I like sharks and we all need to protect them.
Yes we do! Thank you!
We do. But we also need to respect them. They are predators in an environment that we have no control over.
Everyone's gangsta till they attack u
@@Drxlz they barely attack humand.
idk why but there is something so peaceful about your videos - like I like seeing sharks this way instead of edited with tense music and horror close ups ❤️
Your soundtrack is uner-appreciated in the comments section. I found your channel recently and I find it so mesmerizing and relaxing. I grew up swimming and boarding between Newport and Huntington and now realize sharks were always part of my neighborhood. Graceful animals. Really enjoy your work.
I love this channel. I went from being terrified of sharks to wanting to donate for their conservation. Thanks for sharing and educating us 🤙🏽🌈
sharks are animals too, i have thessalaphobia and i would never swim with one but i love watching them do shark stuff from above :D
Sharks are disappearing before our eyes. Thank you for your beautiful work educating the world about these magnificent creatures.
You could make a fortune shark sighting for pro surf tournaments... hell they'd even fly you across the world
they already do it.
This is awesome in so many ways. You are doing documentary on Great White Sharks while at the same time warning beach enthusiasts. Great job bro.
Wow, thank you!
I love this. Not only does it protect humans, but it especially protects the sharks. Ultimately, we're in their habitat and this is a great way to keep a peaceful balance for both parties.
Beautiful 😻 great vid man. Love how calm you are. Not running to the shore line, arms flailing screaming ‘SHHAAARK!!!’ in an unnecessary way. The world needs more people like you. 🦈 ❤️
You are the perfect person to do this...so chill, and based in reality not sensationalism.
I’ve watched a lot of channels about wildlife and this channel is one of, it not the best. It’s really good to see these amazing marine animals without human interaction. You can tell that you do this for the love wildlife and not to get subscribers/likes, unlike so many out there. Thank you for these magnificent shots.
Love this channel. Look forward to every vid.
Much appreciated Clinton!
That shark was definitely heading to check them out. Didn’t mean he was going to attack but better safe than sorry! Thank you for your work sir.
I’m from Sydney and we just had a terrible great white shark incident few days ago
This makes me so happy to see. People looking out for others. Keep up the great work Mr. Malibu Artist!
It seemed like the one surfer was a bit miffed over having to come in, lol. He should be grateful for your help lest he become brunch. Some speakers mounted on the drone might help in warning surfers as well, because they might misconstrue the shark sticker as a WW2 Kittyhawk decoration 😎
The shark was incredibly unlikely to attack.
@@Eclipse-bn2ng the reality is you never really know. It's better to err on the side of caution.
I bet you’re fun at parties Nicholas
@Miguel Send your Mom over--I'll show her a good time 🎉
@@nicid54 Just spoke with her. Said she’s keen. Where you at?
Every busy beach should have a drone life guard like you.
Thanks for showing these amazing creatures. You’re footage and narration is great and educational for many folks that have fears of these creatures. I wouldn’t want to be swimming next to one but seeing how they interact with their environment is lovely to see.
I cant stress enough how wonderful your videos are, along with the narration. AMAZING
Thanks so much Rebbecca!
Love the Content all tha way from Jamaica.
Thanks a ton! I love Jamaica!
I love how caring he is for everyone
This is so cool for the sharks, the bathers and surfers and you for research. Brilliant stuff
I could've helped. I could've done a few channels about learning. I always felt in my comfort zone teaching.
I wished you would see me as your special one that you trust. That's my dream.
Guy: There’s a Shark directly beneath the Drone
Shark: Chomp Blocker !!!
😆
Seriously love your footage, beautiful and community service to alert is just a bonus. Again many thanks for sharing.
Glad to see your sticking to the narration and not bending to those who are not smart enough to turn off the volume if they don't like it :-) (for reasons I'll never understand). That could have been a potentially very bad outcome for those surfers. Amazing footage once again.
This is one of those Hidden Gem channels, i wanted to ask, what ever happens if you lose control, somehow the drone ends up in the water? Is it fully waterproof, how do you "fish" it out?
It is extremely unlikely to lose control of one of these drones. They are super easy to fly due to all of their sensors and auto leveling capabilities. If something did go wrong it would probably end up in the water and at that point it would be toast. It's not waterproof so the salt water would fry everything.
Sharks, surf, drone - excellent bringing together of interests!
Bruh how do u only have 25k subs?! Holy shit this is amazing!
Thanks for everything you share with all of us. I'm sure it's a labor of love for you but for the viewer it's priceless. I realized that I get 100% present while I watch your videos. I look forward to following along on your journey.
Love your channel and THUMBS UP for warning the surfers.
I watch all of your vids and it is extremely fascinating how you made a popular profession by eyeballing these predators for the safety of people. But most of all your dexterity in working all the equipment is a talent. You make the vid very interesting. But behind all these videos are persistence, patience, talent, and a genuine interest in saving people from life-changing events. Tracking sharks vids is creepy but you make it so interesting. M
I was body surfing in thigh-high water at Daytona Beach in mid- summer. Something hard but rubbery clipped me behind my knees forcing me forward and to lose my balance. I took off toward the shore jumping the waves to propel me closer in land. Never once did I think it was a shark, but it must have been a bull sharp testing me out. That was about 25 years ago before the popularity and frequency of attacks were major incidence. I was lucky on that day.
Wow! I will never grow tired of this.
I have such great respect and love for these truly magnificent animals!
Your footage constantly fills me with awe.
Not only are you able to safely observe and monitor their behavior, but drawing awareness not only to potentially bad situations but educating hundreds of thousands people.
I truly hope we are blessed with your site for a very long time!
I cannot say enough how thankful I am to be a part of your amazing footage.
Just love it!
Stay safe. I look forward to it every time my notification goes off.
Thank you
I know your not talking to me because you never have talked so sweet to me like this or appreciated me .
I see shrines and thanks constantly for others but for me?
Lord knows I tried to prove my love. That is was worthy but sometimes I guess you can't see the end of the rainbow because the rain was there 1st or you look over the rainbow and forget it as soon as you see the pot of gold. I am like the beautiful 🌈 full of life and hope. Bowed or humped back with 7 colors. Blue to red one color to the last in varying intensity based on the temperature and allowing for refractory and common denominator... Blue to red the extreme difference but still all cometh from the light in which passed by the H20 molecules and projectory of the wave length that giveth the temperature variance from least to greatest as it bends and rides on a wavelength. Once it is final in destination it casteth the wave either closer to or further away. The height of the wave just as in the ocean has a crest and the date in which it falls is the calculation of which is the equation in mathematical form.
I spoke about this yesterday and here is where it lies in the puzzle.... Infrared. There is other colors which are not visible to the naked human eye present within the rainbow. The temperature assists in the air of which causes the temperature to rise or fall. Like the oceanic waves once again.
The closer they are together... The slower the wave in total start to finish. The straighter less height is faster. So, the time it took for the infared color to appear is the height X weight X width. Hww.
The ir is much hotter in temperaturevthan other said colors. Therefore the rate of pitch is the factoring equation used to configure the rate of drop in pitch is the answer
as someone with thalassophobia i think you're a hero for doing this !
Thanks for helping people and sharks live together safely! 🦈
I find it interesting that so many of these sharks look like they've already been tagged... and yet beaches don't have any hardware that could detect when these tags come near them.
Honestly, every beach should hire full time drone operators to keep people safe.
"Just to let you know there's a shark nearby"
*Watches.*
"It's right under the drone."
*Sees drone, gets to shore.*
Surfers: 👁👄👁
This is a great channel. I don't know why that they don't have this at every beach.
Just a thought: Would be interesting to hear convo with the surfers / water goers when you interact with them. Because many of us probably wondering what we would do/feel like in similar situation.
I think this channel is providing a highly valuable service to the public users of our coastline. Every video has amazing footage of never before recorded shark observation.
Sure there are some people who have been able to make similar observations about shark behavior. But never in recorded form such as this.
Sharks are rarely seen by us divers and I have only been able to capture a single good photo of a large white shark. And that was only because it was feeding, having launched itself like a torpedo from the bottom in less visible water up to its intended meal then after the initial attack it seemed to cruise around waiting for a safe time to start eating without the seal biting. It was probably looking for other sharks that would sneak in for a free bite if they could.
I have also seen a few larger sharks farther out on fishing grounds that come zipping past the boat looking just like a grey torpedo in some WWII documentary. It is a momentary fright and shock to one's senses!
A juvenile great white! He’s more curious than anything and investing his environment.
this guy out here educating us and saving lives.
Such beautiful videos and I love that you are protecting sharks and humans. These videos are really relaxing could almost go to sleep watching them lol. Thanks for all you do 💜💚❤️
What surprises me the most is that the shark leaves a trail in the water. Would have thought that's not possible in moving water.
First thing I do is check for the pectoral fins to see if Hi Five s around, I hope he is ok. This is a very sophisticated way of spotting sharks in beaches and it should be used by authorities. You probably have more data in your videos than some other shark research programs, keep it up, excellent work.
Love love your channel. It’s so calming to see these graceful sharks coexist with other creatures including human.
Amazing! Way to get those surfers out! Who knows what could have happened...Never know..But we know what didn't happen. Beautiful work my man! Liked and subscribed!
I am so grateful that you were able to let those completely unaware surfers know about the shark coming toward them!! What you do is amazing and appreciated and definitely admired!!🙏👍👌😊
This should be on TV in Australia your videos. Great Video
super cool man !! warning them ...I have seen some drone operators that just fly the drone ... and in fact have a "lets see what the shark does " but that shark was def going straight for them .
I only discovered your channel after showing my son what different sharks look like and can I just say! I am loving this! I actually feel quite at peace with everything while I am watching! Keep up the amazing work! Subscribed!!!
They're beautiful animals. Thanks for keeping them safe, as well as fellow surfers.
ive been commenting this type of channel to bondi beach rescue for so many years
Agree these drones could be cheap and save both sharks and people in the future
@@oscarmalchai2547 how many times bondi beach rescue doesnt believe there are sharks but you cannot be 100% sure sometimes they fly HELICOPTERS which cost more to fly
DRONES can easily go check it
and they have a good amount of budget with the show on it aswell
it just shows bondi beach technology is so outdated
they would rather use 2 jetski to move around and find the shark which is not efficient and you cannot see the shark above the jet ski
@@oscarmalchai2547 yeah hopefully this 2021 they will add it on their inventory or arsenal.
bondi beach rescue is very entertaining
What are you talking about? There are at least half a dozen drone operators at Bondi patrolling the ocean for sharks and some have been doing it for years. Whenever a shark is spotted they inform the surf Life savers and they put a warning out. Most of them are locals and are well known. A couple even have TH-cam channels.
Please don't get all your information from that television show, most of it is scripted and dramatised for effect. And they only focus on a few of the crew ( the best looking ones).
There are hundreds of people involved with the Bondi Beach lifesavers and it's annoying that the television show ignores 90% of them.
Heres a guy called Jason who's been patrolling with drones since 2017

Here's Bondi Rescues own drone patrol

@@graphite2786 Ive been watching bondi rescue for many years and maybe they had finally got one or two because back then its all HELICOPTERS and jetski i dont know what youre talking about but ive been saying it for 7-8 years ago
Another a great video and the links to help these sharks is way cool too. Thank you
Can we appreciate the beauty of these sharks? 🥰
Impressive vision equipment. It's so difficult to see a screen in daylight.
What a great thing you're doing to keep ppl safe! Your awesome dude and the sharks are amazing and beautiful. We need to protect them and keep them safe always
Just started viewing this channel; great and informative! Thank you.
thanks for alerting the surfers
Beside all these beautiful pics of the sharks.....you are on a mission, dude👍 Everybody have to known about the Shark-drone! Great job
You could’ve just saved 2 peoples lives. 🌸🌸🌸
Might be a bit hyperbolic but the sentiment is quite sweet regardless
agree
Worldwide shark attack deaths in 2019: 2
Average (worldwide) 4/year
Sharks killed every year: Est 100,000,000
@@WarriorPoet01 But more are bitten than killed. Still I'm glad someone is warning people.
You do realise how unlikely it is for a shark to bite, let alone kill, you? If those 2 people had died, that would have been the same combined total as for the whole of 2019... and that's not just great whites either - all sharks. People's pet dogs are more likely to maul them to death than a shark is likely to bite them
Thanks for the great work in educating people about these amazing creatures.
Good job dude, saved the shark from doing something stupid, and the guys.
Who needs lifesaver with you around. Only kidding, we love and need our lifesavers. Love love love this channel, and you're an incredible dude as well. Thanks.
You must be experiencing some significant growth in your channel. This footage is great, keep it coming 🤙
Those surfers when they got to land, looked like they were thinking
"Was he pranking us?"
Then he explains the drone and there's that.
Sooooo cool! Best drone use ever 💗
Did either of those surfers offer to buy you a drink?! :D "Bruh, let me buy you a beer, thanks man!"
I was thinking the same thing.
I’m so happy I found this channel. Subbed.
This is exactly what I asked in previous video, good job!
I adore sharks, they are one of my fave animals
Great service you are providing. Hats off to ya
Really love your Channel! Amazing footage!
Ban shark fin soup! Love sharks!
I was going to ask if you were related to Ocean but her last name is Ramsey.
@@clbdyc Nope but I've seen her swimming with deep blue. I love sharks but that would scare the C$%p out of me.
@@colinramsay533
I love watching her footage.
They glide so effortlessly.
In sync with each other.
Truly magnificent
Lucky to have someone like you doing this for these surfers!!!!
Glad you were there to let them know👍🏼
Boy...I think I’ve never seen a surfer quite as fast as that one coming to shore 😆 ..as always an exciting and wonderful video! thank you for doing what you do😊
As a SoCal resident, I have two opposing reactions to your videos. First, I am horrified by how many great whites are roaming that close to the shore. And then, I am oddly reassured because with that many sharks, if they wanted to hunt humans we’d be getting A LOT more injuries and deaths than the few we do get each year. Not sure that would help me feel any better if I spotted one in the water near me, but who knows lol
I've only recently found your channel but I love it and always look forward to the next video.
Such a good channel, no nonsense no dumb promotions, just perfect content. Keep it up!
Great content. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure! Thank you!
So. This reminded me of a time at Manhattan Beach bodyboarding and I got out pretty far. When I got back in, my sister tells me "Wow, that was cool!!!! You were with dolphins!" I said How do you know? She replied "I saw their fins." Yeah I think I'm lucky to be alive.
New sub!!! That's wonderful footage! Thank you for sharing. ✌🇱🇷
Amazing love your shark footage just subscribed👍🦈😳
I often SUP at CI Harbor/ Sea bridge & mandalay beach area and every time I see a drone I’m like “ crap is there a shark around me??” and get a mini heart attack only to see a seal 😅
I just found your channel. Say hello to a new subby! I love sharks and I scuba and fish and boat and I treasure the ocean. I've been in deep with some big boys and girls. I've had some friendly bumps but still have all my bits! :). I love this world and just wish people would back off! Let things be and we can all enjoy this blue ball in space.
Goodbye. I'm gonna make sure I can get mine attended to immediately as well as all other electronics.
Well done. You are saving lives while enjoying your hobby
Great gem of a channel to find, keep it up friend, you may have potentially saved lives too
best use of a drone ever
Lifeguards should use drones like this with a siren and flashing lights on it.
Best idea of 2021!
Just discovered this channel clicked on a video unknowingly when I was finished I saw your subscriber count, I couldn't believe you only have 27k your videos are awesome, I hope you grow!
