This was the first white shark I've seen in person surfing here in over 14 years. I want to stress that these sharks are always here, and are an important and healthy part of our ecosystem. In recent years they are becoming more visible thanks to drones and recording technology. I still surf this spot, and even speak with drone operators who show me the white sharks on camera before I paddle out. Why? White sharks segregate based on size in different regions and life stages. Here in Del Mar, we have juveniles (one of which is shown in the video) that are usually between 6-10 feet and are primarily focused on bottom fish. There is no issue surfing with these guys.

@SunJoy I took a look at that channel. And all I see is some guy telling horror stories. Try looking at TheMalibuArtist's channel. He flies with a drone and films sharks top-down. You be the judge: th-cam.com/video/vbJaP1jq9BM/w-d-xo.html
Malibu Artist TH-cam channel filmed multiple whites in that area around the same time. I saw a one breach there at 7th St in the fall and had one shadowing me while kayaking of 17th St. other friends who regularly SUP off Del Mar in mornings are seeing multiple whites frequently in the line up with some just over 10ft. anyone claiming it’s a dolphin is missing that dolphins arc when they leap clear of the water and they hold their tails steady. Whites continuously kick their tails while airborne and then flop into the water.
@@adambaxter2107 yes, but there have been so many sightings of whites, my brother saw 4 while surfing Torrey Pines last Saturday, that the odds are that it was a white.
its called breaching, they do that mostly when hunting seals, they can do that when its in deep water, as they can build up speed and momentum from deep below and just breach out vertically for the kill. Most seals usually didnt see it coming as it is suppose to be a surprise attack /ambush.
@@rio20d teenage great whites breach for 'no reason at all' in SoCal; they've been filmed a number of times just doing their thing. Not sure why: They're too small to hunt for seals and there was not bait in the water. Perhaps just showing off or trying to get rid of parasites or 'feeling their oats'.
It absolutely is not. I’ve seen whites jump at least twice in the same area and there’s a big difference between what a white does when it jumps versus a dolphin. If you look closely you can see the white is still shaking it’s tail vigorously while it’s in the air. Whites do this but dolphins do not.

If there are juveniles, there are adults, sharks, just like humans, are not always predictable in their behaviors. God bless
Its all fun and games until its not.
After watching Sharks Happen youtube channel, I would swim my ass out of that water lol
Imagine a shark swimming toward you and all you hear is “ my name is Hal”
@@diavolossilhouette8274 lol 😆

Could have been a Mako maybe? Def not a dolphin lol

Sitting on your boards and watching them breach, is so sick.
Time to go in lads
The sea is no place for humans
Time to go in
“It’s a good thing we look like fat lazy seals.”
Awesome
i live there... good thing im on vacation this summer !!!
I would get moving out of there
Sweet Dolphin
Thought it was a mako till I read the comment
Never seen a white jump that high
Surfacing on glass?
Spice 1 is an underrated rapper
Great White get out of there. When they do that they are hungry and chasing anything to EAT! 😂😂😂😂
makos tend to jump up to 20 feet
Your going to need a shark net-after the first fatal mauling.
Sorry, can't watch to the end. Hope all is well!
Oh hellz nah!
Anyone else notice the jump right after “no, you didn’t”?
??
Get very, bro

Wow..From this distance looks like a 🐬 dolphin 😲😂🤔kool though..Thanks4sharing..Thought sharks not jump 🤔 hmm
Thanks for checking it out! In person it was easier to tell. Fin goes to the side and everything. The GoPro makes it look like it's miles away!
Great whites jump like crazy, look it up.

check out black pointer/spinner sharks.
they jump crazy high and are often just out the back of surf breaks

That is a dolphin
