EyezGlazedShut wow lol. And why would you put ur feet in the water with a great white less then 10 feet away. I mean if ur life depended on it OK? But if u didn't half to why would you?
I was thinking the same thing. They apparently found a docile great white who was also not hungry. It's game over when they come across an aggressive one.
@@williamjohnsonwilliamjohns1721 hmm, yall need to read up on sharks.... they treat humans as they would their own species. as apex predators you risk your life to engage and most likely get injured and die as a result from said injuries. imagine the steps a shark has to take for a human to attack him, now ya know why there are so few shark attacks. fun tidbit, sharks are always around you no matter where you go swim in the ocean, you just make them nervous as fuck so they stay properly clear from you.
Barabbas Sharks aren't as dangerous as you think they're. Sharks are very curious and that's why they were swimming next to them. You saw how one of the sharks got spooked when he put the camera underwater. Sharks have a bad rep.
Solo Rider Sharks are not the demonic monsters portraited in movies like Jaws. But they are big predatory fish. When encountering humans for the first time it wants to find out if they are a prey, an enemy or something they should ignore. Their curiosity makes them dangerous for us, because fysically we are by far no match for them. Approaching a great white without a cage requires a lot of knowhow (understanding their body language and behaviour) and a lot of guts, because these sharks are quite unpredictable.
ArtificialSoul I understand that, but these sharks look juvenile and juveniles aren't aggressive. If it was an adult shark, that's a whole different story.
Sharks have a bad rep cause they attack people LOL If you go into the water with one there is a good chance it will attack you so obviously they have a bad rep
What I like to think when I watch these vids is... 3 years ago I was having a normal day... and at that exact same time someone was paddle boarding next to a frickin shark
@@ZeloticMemes This statistics is a general stat not if you're in an ocean surrounded by sharks where there aren't any mosquito's... If you take all the shark attacks from the ocean and ask how many of those people got bitten by a mosquito out there I think you will see that Stat flip

Absolutely, fear seems to be a detectable quality. Still can't blame those that do, seems to be a natural instinct that has not been trained out of them yet.
You also don't follow them around like some idiot. You don't see people following a few feet behind lions and bears with gopros. White sharks are territorial and all it would have taken was that fish to decide it didn't like you that close. These two idiots are lucky.
I totally agree, you just gotta be insane to go out on a fucking paddle board near any shark they are known to be agressive and regularly attack jetski's, surf boards, boats and the like so you ain't got a chance on a fucking paddle board. Thing is these guys are filming and smiling but all that changes if you fall in or get dragged into the water now your on the menu.........., and that shoreline is a good 150m away and you just ain't gonna outswim a shark now are we....?, and once you get bit and there's all of that blood in the water it attracts other sharks so the situation gets a little more dire/shitty, can you hear me now...!, am I making sense...!, catch my drift....?
George Clemenceau Oh, we have found ourselves an experienced shark expert. What these guys are doing is rather save. The animals are relaxed, the conditions are excellent and in case you did not notice: these are young sharks. They don't even hunt seals yet. Only fish.
Cara Gloden that shark is still in the fish eating stage. A larger shark what needs a larger prey like mammals. I don't know what the outcome would be in that case.

I know they are out.. i surf Hb and up and down so cal always. You have a better chance getting hit by a car 🤣🤣🤣 juveniles looking for sting rays which we have had plenty of these past years and currently.. Once they get big enough they move on to bigger prey
the sharks new that those paddleboards were not seals, so they didnt attacked them ... you just have to let the shark know that youre not scared, if you draw too much attention by splashing and trying swim away, it might be the last thing you do since as you might now, YOU CANT OUTSWIM A GREAT WHITE SHARK
I mean, at the end ... feet dangling in the water ... after chasing him around ... kinda just wish the shark would have given a LITTLE nibble. Nahmean?
SUB. DELINQUENT lol everytime i go and watch a video on youtube there u r!! but that dude is fucking nuts after seeing a shark he puts his feet in the water screw that!!
AttilatheThrilla pretty much the opposite, young white sharks tend to be more curious while older white sharks are more careful about other creatures and are more "relaxed" sure the size brings more fear but still...
It is well proven that juvenile whites DO NOT ATTACK anything either than fishes. Sharks, no matter what age, size or species, are always curious. Those 2 individuals wouldn't have done that with a full grown ones...
you guys are soo great. the animal people in the world thank you for enjoying the sharks presence and filming his beauty instead of trying to kill him. this footage is great. its soo cool to see such a gorgeous top tier predator that close. we should all #SaveTheSharks
When I was young and stupid I used to do this kind of stuff. After 4 years in the military and 27 years as a firefighter/emt, I have seen alot of people die doing stupid stuff and make better decisions.
Whats your perspective on offshore kayak fishing though? How stupid is that on a scale of 1-10? Bc I'm trying to get into it over here in Perth, western Australia
@@007lutherking The cool thing about freedom is you get to make your own decisions. I am just some guy on the internet. Do your own research and make your own decision. My opinion shouldn't matter in the least. Do what you want. There are too many variables in your generic question for me to give you a honest answer.
Yeah, for real. I do love extreme sports though (cycling, aviation, hell Id LOVE to try skydiving sometime) but the way I see it is that we all die someday, Id rather it be doing something I love than wasting in a hospital. I dont have kids or an SO though so the people that do may have a different perspective.
As surfers, sharks go by us all the time. If you don't flail and panic they just kinda check you out, bump you maybe, and just kinda hang around sometimes because they're curious. Circling is actually a good thing, whites have to keep moving to breathe so they circle to keep looking at you but keep breathing. If you see one head straight at you at speed, that's when you have to take it seriously. Most of the time the shark is just chilling and looking for skates or fish. Discovery channel has made people paranoid. Sharks swim past me out on the surf all the time, it's their home. In Hawaii I would regularly see sharks around my feet while in the lineup, they're not frenzied killers just another animal trying to survive.
For sure, but people make them out to be murderous killing machines when they're just looking for food, shark fatalities worldwide annually can be counted on two hands. People act like every shark is just out to eat people.
WrecklessEating yep you can tell they got know brains I mean really toying with death .why don't one of you jump in and play with the shark then post that lets see how big your balls are really. Lol or at least let me put life insurance on you guy s I will become rich with people doing stuff like this .lol
First off, thank you for sharing this awesome moment with everyone, thank you for helping change some preconceived notions and hopefully help with conservation. I hope to one day appreciate great whites at any age or size some day, and not from a screen. But definitely NOT on a paddle board. I'd be on a bigger boat lol Sharks have a bad rep, they are like most predators, they're not stupid animals, there's a complex conscience - they know where they sit in the scheme of things and they know what they're capable of. These sharks looks small and in good condition, they must be young. That said, they can still cause plenty of damage if they wanted to. If they felt like investigating one of those paddle boards (or paddle boarders) they could cause some serious injuries. To say that these guys were in no danger at all would be really, really foolish. I'm not saying they'd attack and/or eat the paddle boarders, but if they felt like flexing some prowess or practice some skills, if they for whatever reason felt threatened or annoyed, or curious to know what those new things in the water are they have what it takes. These ones seem quite gentle and placid, just out for an equally casual swim but there's no guarantee. It's like here in Canada, I see people walking up to bull elk in rut and trying to pet them or hand feed them french fries because they think the elk are herbivores and therefore the elk are gentle and won't hurt them. Nope. Elk aren't out to get people either, but if they felt like it they have what it takes to fend off bigger, tougher, meaner animals than human beings. Bottom line, I'd be panicking, I'd probably be petrified to even put the paddle back in the water lol I think I'd be doing my best job to be invisible. "This is an amazing moment but I'd like to be home now. K thnx bye."
I find the comments so in awe what these two are doing. Guess I have been watching SharkFest all week on NatGeo and have seen Great Whites come up to boats and chomp on them. So, I would never do what you are doing.....tempting fate
Sharks are not as vicious as people make them out to be . I surfed for about 25 years so I've seen a shark or 2 in the water with me . the only time I got scared is when I drifted into a shark feeding frenzy and didnt realize it until a couple of the sharks bumped against my board while they were feeding . that scared the hell out of me for sure . im still amazed 5 years later that I didnt get bit . I guess the good Lord was looking out for me that day . but I got the hell out when the wave came my way . and I had a couple of nice dings in my board from where they hit my board . its some wild shit I promise you
@Comicbookstoreguy177 I love your idea of living on the edge! I can tell that you're not a boring person and likes an adventure instead of being stuck at home most of the time. :)
No way would I have been standing up on those boards!. I'd have been laying down making sure my little toes didn't even show over the sides!. Great footage!
Courtney Hemerick there is youtube video..based in hawaii where a experienced diver saw a rare great white female and jumped in and swam with it. They asked him why he did it, he replied the water was flat and clear..as well the shark looked relaxed. but its ur own risk...i wouldnt do it, i wouldnt even be brave enough to be on a paddle board 😂
Breaking news, the scene, a horrific site at Huntington Beach, a man was fatally attacked and mauled by a great white shark at 3PM today... and he filmed his own death. People at the scene say he thought the sharks were his friends, we take you live to the scene, Steve.
Audfile Yes thank you Audrey. We are here on Huntington Beach today at the tragic death place of 2 men who "played" with Great White Sharks. Witnesses say they saw them both following the Sharks and taking underwater clips and photos until one of the Sharks pulled *Courtney* into the deep water. They then go on to say that the next man, filled with horror and disbelief, fell off of his paddle board, making him an easy meal for the two sharks. What remains of the two men's bodies are yet to be found. Back to you in the studio, Audrey.
The coastal waters in southern California are White Shark nurseries . Juvenile Whites concentrate mostly on fish until they get to be about 8/9 ft or so, then they start adding mammals into their diet. They are super curious and could potential knock someone off the board, but if someone fell into the water that fish would have been scared shitless.
vicdmise why is the concept of touching a wild animal considered as a dick move? you know what, using the keyboard to stereotype any sorts of human interaction with animals to be a harmful to them is a dick move.
Tony Tng Relax, Tony. No one is trying to insult animals or your love of them. i said it was a dick move because when you're paddleboarding with friends, unprotected, among predators, it's probably best practice to not mess with them.
i saw some drone footage of Great whites that was filmed off the coast of california, and there are surprisingly more great white sharks just chilling about while there are alot of surfers around them they even get very close to each other but they tend to ignore the surfers.
Harmless juvenile just like most of the sitings around here.. If you leave the allonym should be fine, all they eat at that size is fish before moving north to hunt mammals.
I would go so far as to say that where juvenile Great Whites congregate, a person would be safer than normal in the water. Since the juvenile sharks stay away from the larger predatory specimens.
I tell my friends I'm never more closer to God then when I surf every minute I check in with God and make sure we're still cool because of these types of scenarios
I do the same. One of my surf spots in Florida a few weeks back, a place I’m in always in the water at, they pulled out about a ten foot hammerhead from the beach. I have a picture of it. But you’re right, it’s always good to just be thanking The Great Spirit all the time, checking in as you say. Brilliant. Aloha.
Huntington Beach was our hangout when I was a kid. Senior ditch day, a group of us ditched and went to see Jaws, and then went to Huntington Beach. I swear, we saw Great White Sharks in every whitecap.
"Hey Frank.. look at these guys thinking they're safe on a board... if we didn't just eat I'd say we bump into em a little n eat for the next week or so..."
+Courtney Hemerick lol. awesome videos my friend. keep at it n enjoy the surf life! If we dont protect these beautiful creatures of our oceans as surfers idk who will. I know people get upset for people even being next to them but sharks aren't stupid. It's the people that actually poke or screw with em n hunt for that matter. Im not saying ppl need to relax, they care, which is good, but u guys were at least respecting the physical boundaries n also spotting for other people as a light warning.
+Bob Frankenstein we definitely respect them. Also, I'm a huge animal lover and protector and totally agree about protecting these sharks. My video actually shows them being docile and not killing machines like people sometime see them as.
They won't have time to react. Before they even know they're being attacked they will be missing an arm or a leg and bobbing up and down in red water. Seriously, dudes, y'all are stupid. This kind of crap would be expected from a teenager, but y'all look like grownups. Oh well. This planet is getting overpopulated. Time for another round of Darwin awards....
Courtney Hemerick that far from ground level without scopes? Light would have just reflected off the surface and they shouldn’t see much of anything, unless they got to a higher point, something like a lifeguard post
Admiring the awesomeness of this animal is part of the risk. I think they know the possible risks.Look what happened to the Crocodile hunter. He was admiring wildlife all his life. He knew the risks and it ended up killing him.
*the title is misleading. i dont see sharks surfing :(*

Humans are too bony for sharks they need prey with more meat
Oh look a shark keeps circling us, I’m gonna dangle my feet in the water... are you crazy? I would’ve freaked out and ended up losing my balance!
Seeing them that close to shore is a scary thought. Wonder how many people swim there on a daily basis
I know they are out.. i surf Hb and up and down so cal always. You have a better chance getting hit by a car 🤣🤣🤣 juveniles looking for sting rays which we have had plenty of these past years and currently.. Once they get big enough they move on to bigger prey
@@triyb not true at all, sharks can't even digest humans and don't eat us if they accidentally kill us.
Fuckin hate androids
Yip , I don't enjoy Swimming any Waters when there's a chance your Dinner ".
Erik Andersson They can digest us, but we are so skinny, and worthless, compared to a nice salmon or seal. Plus we taste horrible
How does that guy paddle with such big balls..........
Gary Soldan You are the MAN. Best comment so far. I laughed
By far the best comment
Gary Soldan My first thought
A real man would have jumped in the water with it, grabbed it's dorsal fin, and rode it like a bronco.
With his arms
:48 , love the way the shark darts away when he puts the camera below water, “Oh my God humans, swim!”.
i hope u know that Great White are capable of jumping
the sharks new that those paddleboards were not seals, so they didnt attacked them ... you just have to let the shark know that youre not scared, if you draw too much attention by splashing and trying swim away, it might be the last thing you do since as you might now, YOU CANT OUTSWIM A GREAT WHITE SHARK
lol he will eat u if u are afraid or not .if he is hungry and i think he is not in this video , u are a goner
Basim Micheal thats why you have to find a calm and curious shark if you want to swim with one 😉
Na'xia Xi'Larn
yeah if u are lucky , if u are not .goodbye life
+Basim Micheal if you study the body language then you know which one is calm and curious.
All fun and games until the parents arrive
That's true
LOL, sharks don't have parents. They are abandoned at birth.
What the fuck are those guys doing just following the shark around the place yikes.
So different yet so cool! Thank you for taking us my friend!
I mean, at the end ... feet dangling in the water ... after chasing him around ... kinda just wish the shark would have given a LITTLE nibble. Nahmean?
A piece of me wanted him to fall in the water
Ezra N jajjajajajajajajajajajaj jajajaja I'm dead me too
it's normal you're a jew
@@KingPossum been proven that that is also just an urban legend.
Bahahaha sicko
💀💀💀
It's content like this that makes youtube worthwhile, brilliant.
hmmm...Let's go follow the 12 foot long Great White on our paddleboards!! Sounds like a good idea!
It’s definitely not 12 feet.
Holy shit! You guys are crazy! Great footage though!
SUB. DELINQUENT Thanks
👍 good times!
SUB. DELINQUENT lol everytime i go and watch a video on youtube there u r!! but that dude is fucking nuts after seeing a shark he puts his feet in the water screw that!!
This is my coworker! LOL
SUB. DELINQUENT
Sub you are in here man. Crazy seeing moto vloggers on random videos
I clicked on this video with the hopes of watching a shark surf. I ended up watching two men with gigantic balls.
And they always blame it on the shark😒
Beautiful.
Great video!!
Little guy was just cruising🤙
I thought being next to a flying cockroach was ballsy but these guys took it to whole new level
J C hahahahaha Thanks.
These Great Whites were young.. I doubt these guys would be as relaxed if it was full grown on the prowl.
AttilatheThrilla heck no
I'm gonna laugh so hard when he knocks you 2 kooks off next time.
I'd like to see you swim next to a harmless reef shark first buddy
AttilatheThrilla pretty much the opposite, young white sharks tend to be more curious while older white sharks are more careful about other creatures and are more "relaxed" sure the size brings more fear but still...
It is well proven that juvenile whites DO NOT ATTACK anything either than fishes. Sharks, no matter what age, size or species, are always curious. Those 2 individuals wouldn't have done that with a full grown ones...
They're going to need a bigger boat.
Hahahahaha Jaws references
+Matthew Williams Sorry Matthew. I am a movie geek. lol
It's not a boat it's a board
L
If i saw one on my kayak id be excited and terrified at the same time. Incredibly footage guys. Very entertaining.
Look at how close to the beach they are!!!!! 😨
I dont think you are safe on that paddle...
Some large sharks are intimidated by paddles, but most are not. They need to be tested individually.
What a beautiful animal! They are absolutely magnificent predators, and it’s a rare gift to see them this way.
My friend saw a shark and got out of there as fast as he could
you guys are soo great. the animal people in the world thank you for enjoying the sharks presence and filming his beauty instead of trying to kill him. this footage is great. its soo cool to see such a gorgeous top tier predator that close. we should all #SaveTheSharks
When I was young and stupid I used to do this kind of stuff. After 4 years in the military and 27 years as a firefighter/emt, I have seen alot of people die doing stupid stuff and make better decisions.
curlylarrymoe Hahaha you have a point. These are babies and we did take everything into consideration before we went out
Whats your perspective on offshore kayak fishing though? How stupid is that on a scale of 1-10? Bc I'm trying to get into it over here in Perth, western Australia
@@007lutherking The cool thing about freedom is you get to make your own decisions. I am just some guy on the internet. Do your own research and make your own decision. My opinion shouldn't matter in the least. Do what you want. There are too many variables in your generic question for me to give you a honest answer.
Yeah, for real. I do love extreme sports though (cycling, aviation, hell Id LOVE to try skydiving sometime) but the way I see it is that we all die someday, Id rather it be doing something I love than wasting in a hospital. I dont have kids or an SO though so the people that do may have a different perspective.
I agree if that shark decided to knock him off that board I think that dumb grin on his face would have turn to brown out his butt
As surfers, sharks go by us all the time. If you don't flail and panic they just kinda check you out, bump you maybe, and just kinda hang around sometimes because they're curious. Circling is actually a good thing, whites have to keep moving to breathe so they circle to keep looking at you but keep breathing. If you see one head straight at you at speed, that's when you have to take it seriously. Most of the time the shark is just chilling and looking for skates or fish. Discovery channel has made people paranoid. Sharks swim past me out on the surf all the time, it's their home. In Hawaii I would regularly see sharks around my feet while in the lineup, they're not frenzied killers just another animal trying to survive.
VR46 Girl 🤙🏻 you’re so right! Sharks are too predators that we need to respect also
For sure, but people make them out to be murderous killing machines when they're just looking for food, shark fatalities worldwide annually can be counted on two hands. People act like every shark is just out to eat people.
What do you mean by “take seriously”? If a shark is coming at you, what can you do to minimize the risk? To me it seems you are fully at his mercy
This is definitely the trailer to the next Jaws film, The Jawesoming!
WrecklessEating Jawses
Fuck you Zion
+WrecklessEating Jaws 19 yet? we didn't get it back in 2015.
WrecklessEating hey I love you videos 👍
WrecklessEating yep you can tell they got know brains I mean really toying with death .why don't one of you jump in and play with the shark then post that lets see how big your balls are really. Lol or at least let me put life insurance on you guy s I will become rich with people doing stuff like this .lol
Appears to be a juvenile.
God bless everyone.
They probably even less likely to attack as adults actually
@@Jake-rj6ql But maybe more likely to be curious which means they may give a curious bite.
God bless you.
@@FeedingFrenzy91 Hm, true, perhaps.
I cannot imagine that board holding the weight of you, your camera, paddle and 2-350 pound balls... My hat is off to such bravery !
jfoster1515 hahahahaha Thanks Bro! It was scary at first but then became exciting
I bet that shark was wondering what kind of retarded seals are above him lol.
I love how they’re treating it like their pet...
When I did that I was in an offshore v-hull with 2 outboards. Their go-pro footage is a lot better than mine though.
He's leading them out to sea! He who laughs lasts laughs longest
how dare you assume the sharks gender?
First off, thank you for sharing this awesome moment with everyone, thank you for helping change some preconceived notions and hopefully help with conservation.
I hope to one day appreciate great whites at any age or size some day, and not from a screen. But definitely NOT on a paddle board. I'd be on a bigger boat lol Sharks have a bad rep, they are like most predators, they're not stupid animals, there's a complex conscience - they know where they sit in the scheme of things and they know what they're capable of.
These sharks looks small and in good condition, they must be young. That said, they can still cause plenty of damage if they wanted to. If they felt like investigating one of those paddle boards (or paddle boarders) they could cause some serious injuries. To say that these guys were in no danger at all would be really, really foolish. I'm not saying they'd attack and/or eat the paddle boarders, but if they felt like flexing some prowess or practice some skills, if they for whatever reason felt threatened or annoyed, or curious to know what those new things in the water are they have what it takes. These ones seem quite gentle and placid, just out for an equally casual swim but there's no guarantee.
It's like here in Canada, I see people walking up to bull elk in rut and trying to pet them or hand feed them french fries because they think the elk are herbivores and therefore the elk are gentle and won't hurt them. Nope. Elk aren't out to get people either, but if they felt like it they have what it takes to fend off bigger, tougher, meaner animals than human beings.
Bottom line, I'd be panicking, I'd probably be petrified to even put the paddle back in the water lol I think I'd be doing my best job to be invisible. "This is an amazing moment but I'd like to be home now. K thnx bye."
Wow, one of the most accurate comments so far. Thanks.
Juveniles like this mainly eat sting rays in the shallows - they are not interested in humans ...not part of their food chain .
That's the aquatic equivalent of putting your meat and two veg in a lion's mouth and flicking his love spuds with a wet towel.
Joe Hahahaha That sounds dangerous. This seemed a little more safe when we decided to do it
@@rubythenaturegirl11 lol, must say that it looks like a once in a lifetime experience! Fair play mate.
No matter how calm and majestic it may look, it can turn for the worse in a blink of and eye
I find the comments so in awe what these two are doing. Guess I have been watching SharkFest all week on NatGeo and have seen Great Whites come up to boats and chomp on them. So, I would never do what you are doing.....tempting fate
Sharks are not as vicious as people make them out to be . I surfed for about 25 years so I've seen a shark or 2 in the water with me . the only time I got scared is when I drifted into a shark feeding frenzy and didnt realize it until a couple of the sharks bumped against my board while they were feeding . that scared the hell out of me for sure . im still amazed 5 years later that I didnt get bit . I guess the good Lord was looking out for me that day . but I got the hell out when the wave came my way . and I had a couple of nice dings in my board from where they hit my board . its some wild shit I promise you
Great footage for sure! I would love to get some video like that from my kayak but it would probably be way too shaky
I've swam with a few different species of sharks but haven't seen a great white yet. Would love to experience something like that
Ken Desouza I agree. It was amazing to experience it. I wish I would’ve gotten in and swam next to them though 😢
Comicbookstoreguy177 actually a great idea
@Comicbookstoreguy177 I love your idea of living on the edge! I can tell that you're not a boring person and likes an adventure instead of being stuck at home most of the time. :)
No way would I have been standing up on those boards!. I'd have been laying down making sure my little toes didn't even show over the sides!. Great footage!
Surfer: smiles at seeing great white shark
Great White Shark: now that's what i call a happy meal
WHY ARE YOU SMILING LIKE YOUR HAPPY TO SEE THEM
Thx for the likes
These guys are nuts!! It’s scary how close to the shore the sharks are.. if you were swimming you’d have no idea until your leg has been taken off!
Bilal Mughal We were really close to the shore. The Gopro made it look further than it actually was. The waves were flat so it made for a great video
An animal that can rip you to shreds but he still has a smile on his face, lol
they seem really relaxed...u can probaly go for a swim and they would leave u alone
Christians9955 next time they are there I'm going to swim with them
Courtney Hemerick there is youtube video..based in hawaii where a experienced diver saw a rare great white female and jumped in and swam with it. They asked him why he did it, he replied the water was flat and clear..as well the shark looked relaxed.
but its ur own risk...i wouldnt do it, i wouldnt even be brave enough to be on a paddle board 😂
chinafakeeggs juvenile or not the Sharks mouth is massive. One serious bite and you can bleed out in minutes.
rip
Chinafekeggs what is this research you do?? Sounds "fishy" to me...
Breaking news, the scene, a horrific site at Huntington Beach, a man was fatally attacked and mauled by a great white shark at 3PM today... and he filmed his own death. People at the scene say he thought the sharks were his friends, we take you live to the scene, Steve.
Audfile those sharks loved me
Audfile
Yes thank you Audrey. We are here on Huntington Beach today at the tragic death place of 2 men who "played" with Great White Sharks. Witnesses say they saw them both following the Sharks and taking underwater clips and photos until one of the Sharks pulled *Courtney* into the deep water. They then go on to say that the next man, filled with horror and disbelief, fell off of his paddle board, making him an easy meal for the two sharks. What remains of the two men's bodies are yet to be found. Back to you in the studio, Audrey.
Sharks looking peaceful.
I bet those guys already knew that this shark is a vegetarian type.
The respect and awe you have of these animals is really nice to see.
The coastal waters in southern California are White Shark nurseries . Juvenile Whites concentrate mostly on fish until they get to be about 8/9 ft or so, then they start adding mammals into their diet. They are super curious and could potential knock someone off the board, but if someone fell into the water that fish would have been scared shitless.
An amazing moment but reaching out to touch it with the paddle is a dick move. That could have made the situation ugly very quickly.
vicdmise i was wondering what he was doing too, but then i realized he has his gopro attached to the paddle. i still doubt i wouldve done that tho lol
p00ker1 the other guy was putting it down next to the shark as a reference for size.
He wasn't touching it. He had a GoPro on the end of his paddle, so he was getting some close underwater footage.
vicdmise why is the concept of touching a wild animal considered as a dick move?
you know what, using the keyboard to stereotype any sorts of human interaction with animals to be a harmful to them is a dick move.
Tony Tng Relax, Tony. No one is trying to insult animals or your love of them.
i said it was a dick move because when you're paddleboarding with friends, unprotected, among predators, it's probably best practice to not mess with them.
Damn fools. Shark is checking them out just waiting for a reason.
i saw some drone footage of Great whites that was filmed off the coast of california, and there are surprisingly more great white sharks just chilling about while there are alot of surfers around them they even get very close to each other but they tend to ignore the surfers.
Harmless juvenile just like most of the sitings around here.. If you leave the allonym should be fine, all they eat at that size is fish before moving north to hunt mammals.
I would go so far as to say that where juvenile Great Whites congregate, a person would be safer than normal in the water. Since the juvenile sharks stay away from the larger predatory specimens.
Hold my beer while I pet this shark
Adam Starr Actually what happened
Courtney Hemerick legends 🤙🏻
There would not have been one hint of laughter from me in that scenario. Wow That was crazy
I just won a Tower Paddleboard...I'm now having second thoughts about taking it
Hahaha they don't come around often
This video gave anxiety
i cant imagine 6 years later both these guys are still alive. At least not with both feet intact.
Luckily we are both still fully intact. It’s a miracle. Hahaha
I tell my friends I'm never more closer to God then when I surf every minute I check in with God and make sure we're still cool because of these types of scenarios
This is the best comment
I do the same. One of my surf spots in Florida a few weeks back, a place I’m in always in the water at, they pulled out about a ten foot hammerhead from the beach. I have a picture of it. But you’re right, it’s always good to just be thanking The Great Spirit all the time, checking in as you say. Brilliant. Aloha.
As awesome and brave as it was it was also very risky and scary. That shark could have attacked them at any moment and eaten them.
Huntington Beach was our hangout when I was a kid. Senior ditch day, a group of us ditched and went to see Jaws, and then went to Huntington Beach. I swear, we saw Great White Sharks in every whitecap.
"Hey Frank.. look at these guys thinking they're safe on a board... if we didn't just eat I'd say we bump into em a little n eat for the next week or so..."
Hahahaha Glad Frank was full
+Courtney Hemerick lol. awesome videos my friend. keep at it n enjoy the surf life! If we dont protect these beautiful creatures of our oceans as surfers idk who will. I know people get upset for people even being next to them but sharks aren't stupid. It's the people that actually poke or screw with em n hunt for that matter. Im not saying ppl need to relax, they care, which is good, but u guys were at least respecting the physical boundaries n also spotting for other people as a light warning.
+Bob Frankenstein we definitely respect them. Also, I'm a huge animal lover and protector and totally agree about protecting these sharks. My video actually shows them being docile and not killing machines like people sometime see them as.
FifteenYearOldGirl ha!! Ha!!
See how they react when they've got an 18ft monster actually showing interest in them.
They won't have time to react. Before they even know they're being attacked they will be missing an arm or a leg and bobbing up and down in red water. Seriously, dudes, y'all are stupid. This kind of crap would be expected from a teenager, but y'all look like grownups. Oh well. This planet is getting overpopulated. Time for another round of Darwin awards....
Honestly that would be so cool being that close to a shark
Your fuckin cooked
Unless you're a pussy black person, because they're scared of baby sharks and the water..
Go to Huntington Beach they said
It’ll be fun they said
🤦🏽♀️
Dude these dudes craazy!! I would’ve fallen off balance already lmao just from shaking too much
Wow, it’s actually very close to shore, they should probably give those people on shore a heads up
KageNoTenshi They could see the sharks from shore too
Courtney Hemerick that far from ground level without scopes? Light would have just reflected off the surface and they shouldn’t see much of anything, unless they got to a higher point, something like a lifeguard post
What"s the big deal ? Following a shark with a silly look on your face. We ride them in New Zealand.
Mac Lindsay Raddddd! I want to do THAT
Send me location
Not to mention its a tine great white it looked like a ten footer. Probably young not even full grown. A full grown white shark would eat them both.
Stop lieng on new zeland!
Thank you for not screaming the whole time.
This should be labeled drunk dude standing on a surf board points at sharks bigger than him and his board.
Admiring the awesomeness of this animal is part of the risk. I think they know the possible risks.Look what happened to the Crocodile hunter. He was admiring wildlife all his life. He knew the risks and it ended up killing him.
Yep. And out of all the dangerous crocs lizards snakes sharks kangaroos ... The list goes on.. A stingray. But I guess I lt was what he loved right?
He died the way he lived, with animals in his heart.
