As a long time shark fearing man, watching your videos gives me a strange kind of peace - the knowledge that there are so many shark/human encounters each day is comforting. Thanks for the work you're doing!
Uhh, as a shark fearing man, I saw a lot of assumptions and opposing facts, like that they aren't curious. Ill stay on land.
They are less likely to attack than a common dog, or a human on the street, In Australia 🇦🇺 you are more likely to die from a snake bite, spider bite, kangaroo, wombat, magpie, and so many more than a shark, they’re apex predators? Yet attacks are so rare? You see we live on an island and most of the time we go to isolated beaches, it’s dangerous but sometimes it’s more dangerous in your own backyard x you hear about shark attacks because it’s good news, it’s not good for the person, but good for the news outlet! No one wants to hear about a spider bite, or a wombat ripping the entire bottom of your car out, or a kangaroo drowning your kid or killing a family of 5 on holidays… We respect sharks, you should respect them, they generally respect you, 99% of the time anyway, 1% is a risk I’m happy to take ❤ The ocean 🌊 is much healthier and better with them there….
@@ShenStateHuh? I don’t understand your point. If you don’t enjoy the water, sure, stay on land. Not enjoying the ocean because of sharks is silly, though. I’m comfortable in the water and have been lucky enough to snorkel in lots of places and I’d never trade those experiences.
Belize has some fun places that let you snorkel with lots of shark species and it’s like being in a bath tub with them. I assume there are places all around the Yucatán peninsula like that. I was in the water in Hawaii somewhere when the boat captain pointed out a larger tiger shark swimming around us, probably looking for turtles or something.
To miss out on all the barracuda or spinner dolphin or big skates and rays… or even the Sea Turtles would be really sad because of a fairly irrational fear. But if that stuff isn’t interesting to you, then whatever floats your boat. I’m going fishing in SE Asia after the holidays and look forward to seeing some awesome freshwater fish (catch and release unless my friend is able to prepare what we get).
Jaws entered the chat ...
Dun dun.
Dun dun dun dun.
You should be on Shark Week. Your videos actually teach people things we never knew.
What’s great about your videos there’s no made up drama or editing.
I’ve been fascinated by sharks, especially the great-whites my entire life. Absolutely love what you do to develop deepen our appreciation and understanding of these majestic and beautiful creatures! Thank you for your work!
I am the light of the world also. We need 2 hang out do some shark filming. "Shark On!!
Me too been studying them for over ten yrs! ❤
You should swim them and deepen your appreciation. After all, this video proves their not curious or harmful.
I've been shark happy since I was 4, on Galveston Beach. That was 62 years ago! They are so cool.
That’s right!!’n
breath taking photage as always, dude you're doing wonderful work to raise awareness, i really hope some researchers have reached out to you, because you're capturing some really rare stuff we just don't see with chum and chunks of meat in the water.
I don’t think so because they 9:20
He'll hit the lottery soon
Can’t get enough of this, Carlos. The footage is amazing and your voice calming.
I’ve loved the ocean and her inhabitants ever since I was a small child and appreciate your love for it/them, too. ✌🏼
You have done what scientists have been trying to do since the 70’s. I’m still astonished that they don’t eat everything they come close to. I held my breath watching those sharks get so close. The world thanks you for your work 🩵🩶🩵🩶🩵🇨🇦
You’re work is brilliant. Every species needs a Malibu artist as an advocate ❤
Truth!
As a person with unfounded fear of ocean and sharks. You help me so much. I respect it.
I grew up surfing in South Africa, being terrified of great whites - given the 21 fatalities at our local beach over the decades. It's only when I started scuba diving and having multiple peaceful encounters with sharks underwater that my opinion of them changed from fear to adoration and respect.
@TheMalibuArtist does a fantastic job of not fearmongering with his footage or background music, but instead educating and mesmerizing his audience.
I'm not sure why it would change your opinion,given the 21 fatalities on your local beach. Sharks are way less dangerous when your on the bottom of a reef, I get that.(former diver) But they are still prehistoric apex sea predators that EAT HUMANS. It only takes a split second for a shark to remind you how unpredictable they can be. And that split second can be your last if you are unlucky. Good thing sharks aren't as mean as barracudas and eels.
@@BlahBlahs1000yeah he’s a dumbass ignore his comment. The 21 fatalities should have been enough.
YOU DESERVE AN AWARD FOR THIS. Thank you for showing how sharks don't want to devour us.
Sleeping where the water naturally propels through their gills makes so much sense! Beautiful!
Would love to see a release date at a local movie house (Laguna/Oceanside)! Be phenomenal to see this on big screen!
Wow yeah great observation that makes sense yeah
Woah, so the shore line is literally a shark bed! That's crazy to think about!
I had a terrifying encounter with an aggressive/agitated shark while out alone on my paddle board. He was tangled in fishing line and charged at me repeatedly. He continued to charge and stalk me off my back shoulder when I started to book it back to shore. Fin and tail up out of the water. He was close enough to be repeatedly splashing water up onto me while circling/charging at me. I’m getting ready to head back to the ocean for the winter and your videos are a help to me. I don’t want to be so afraid and am trying to remember it’s not likely to happen again. Thanks for the videos.
Did he end up ok from the fishing line?
Wow animals are shockingly intelligent! So this shark was angry at the species that caused it's entanglement and confronted the very people it felt were responsible. Otherwise sharks don't usually show aggression if unprovoked. If that's the case it's pretty mind-blowing
Always amazing. My respect for Great White keeps growing, even if my fear of them remains the same.
im from san francisco and my middle school teacher was sadly the victim of a fatal shark attack in up by pt. reyes recently. we are all pretty devastated. he was an incredible man.
Oh wow, sorry to hear that. I still wonder how there can be so many close encounters and then a fatal one. I wonder what the differences are? Take care
Sharks, Bears, Bison. Moose. It happens. They are bus sized predators.
Sorry to hear of the loss.😢
Thank you for making this video and saying what you said about sharks being more intelligent than we give them credit and also that exposure to humans at a young age might lessen the number of test bites, BRILLIANT!
I think we also need ‘educational’ programs to stop editing footage (not just of sharks but all animals) to suit their storyline and just teach people about real animal behaviors like you have so eloquently done here. I have only learned of you and your work today through a news article, already hooked! From a Bird that LOVES sharks, THANK YOU for your voice and your footage.
Spettacolare, ogni video mi fa entrare in circolo adrenalina! Grazie per il lavoro che fai 😊
You continue to keep this channel both fascinating and visually appealing. Thank you for helping to paint a more accurate picture of these beautiful, if intimidating, creatures. My daughter is a surfer in Southern California and she enjoys these videos too. Keep up the great work!
Thank -you so much for your work. I have been watching your episodes for quite a while and You never fail to inspire me to never ever go into the ocean. Ever.
I've watched so many of your videos and the only ones that have ever made me nervous are there ones with the kids, I guess being a father it just brings that out in me. But I am amazed every time you put out a video, just amazed. Spectacular work as always!!
Now that human-shark encounters can be documented by drones, it sheds new light on how really rare shark bites are. I suspect that shark-human encounters are not unlike grizzly-human encounters when you get right down to it. Lots of contact, very few deaths. But let's not forget, when we go into the ocean or the wilds on land, we are entering the food chain, for better or worse.
Thank you for this content! I've learned so much and have gotten rid of some of my biases against sharks I used to have (I blame shark movies tbh). It's fascinating watching their interactions with surfers
So beautiful, all of these sharks ❤
And yes, an ocean devoid of sharks would be deadly for the ecosystem and a loss of breathtaking beauty 🦈💙
I have had this strange obsession with sharks since i was a child. What an incredible video! ❤
You do an amazing job raising shark awareness! ❤
Your videos are the reason I would now be excited to see a shark while scuba diving, rather than be terrified! 😊
Incredible as always. You really have a gift.
Just the most beautiful shadows in the water. I will be lying that I wont be afraid, but I will be proud of my trears of awe for this magnificent creatures that leaves above the surface❤️❤️❤️
I am so happy that drone footage is being used for this purpose now, I have always loved sharks so much and I love seeing all these beautiful moments with them.
Thank you for another beautiful video. ❤️❤️❤ I still love your videos and am so grateful to you for your knowledge and the positive awareness that you bring to us about shark activity. They are beautiful creatures and do not deserve the maligned reputation that they have. It broke my heart that the Tiger shark that killed the Italian man in Egypt this year was so cruelly treated before it died. I do not understand why so many humans cannot accept that the oceans are the domain of sharks (and obviously many other creatures) and we should respect them (and the oceans) and not arrogantly give ourselves rights over them.
I am 82 and I grew up body surfing at Zuma Beach from the time I was about 10 at an all the way through my life until we moved up I San Francisco. I always felt there were sharks near and I used to swim all the time for hours at a time and I never had any problems. I think sharks are one of the most beautiful animals on earth
Just wanted to say I love your videos they're really awesome thank you for sharing
Beautiful videos. I'm so glad someone is showing these creatures as interested in viewing us, not eating us.
I love your beautiful footage of sharks swimming through the water, among the surfers. Thanks so much for sharing!
Who does your narration?! Or is that really you?
Great work. I was a recurrent lifeguard for 25 years I wonder if we’ve met. I’ll try and reach out when I am back that way. You are doing great work, you are respectful of the animals and are not creating public relations disasters etc.
Dude Beaches and Harbors sold ads to a company promoting a re-release of the Jaws movie that had that image from the book/poster on the back of every tower causing tourists to FREAK OUT it was hilarious but a total disaster.
Thanks for what you do man.
Great video as always. You're doing valuable work here. Coexistence in peace is the only way, and I think you are contributing. I love your philosophy. ❤
I have been terrified of sharks my whole life after watching Jaws as a kid in the late 70s early 80s. These videos have helped me to deal with my phobia as I now better understand the relationship between people and sharks in the ocean.
Great shots Carlos!! It's amazing how many sharks are in the water that go totally undetected by surfers and paddleboaters right next to them. I did notice that to their credit, those who did spot them didn't panic and try to flee; they merely observed them. You mentioned a man who had an encounter and continued to surf everyday. I don't think that's unusual as surfers tend to have a real love of surfing and the ocean; wild horses couldn't drive them away. Muchas gracias y saludos de Vancouver.
Mesmerising footage of these powerful and beautiful creatures. Thank you for not fear mongering but educational and balanced observations.
Growing up around Malibu it's mind blowing to see this drone footage. Pretty funny last comment though: "Nothing is scarier than an ocean devoid of sharks", that's just not the way I've ever felt!
Awesome, Carlos! Thanks!
great video as always man
Fascinating! I just love watching your videos, thank you!
Just found your channel and love it. Was very curious as to the white shark activity along the socal coast and now I know. As seen in your footage, we don’t make the list when it comes to its fav foods menu thank God lol. Hopefully we can continue to co exist without any bad encounters . Keep the cool shots coming bro
your work should be on TV. Keep being you.
Amazing footage as always, l love watching your videos, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
This is a very interesting and Breathtaking video. I grew up in Cali surfing and body surfing was my everyday thing I did, there were times where I felt I was not alone in the waves!!!LOVE IT ❤
I enjoy the natural way you film sharks. I love your videos
Thank you very much!
Thankyou so much! Thanks to videos like yours and other people who are actively supporting shark conservation, my deep love for these magnificent beings, has been inspired and awakened
I love your channel. It always gives me such a peaceful feeling.
Thank you for great content. Beautiful video and education together. Wonderful job!
This is the first time I have seen one of your videos. Beautiful footage! I’ll be looking forward to seeing more.
Another great video Carlos, amazing. Your videos prove GWSs aren't simply mindless eating machines. I live in the south of Western Australia, it would be so amazing if we had someone like you here documenting via drone footage how GWSs react to surfers here. Surely they're also not as aggressive as we may assume. Many GWSs in your footage are very large - surely large enough to negatively interact with the humans in the footage, but they don't...
I cannot express enough how awesome this video is and the chest pain and anxiety that came with it!! 😱🦈💜
This is beautiful!! It must be such an incredible experience to encounter sharks in a positive way and just contemplate them right there ao close. Just WoW 😍😍😍 This video is beautiful 💝🙏
This footage is incredible. Amazing work, please keep it up and thank you for posting!
Incredible footage as always! Your contribution to understanding sharks behavior must certainly be so valuable to the scientific community!
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
I appreciate this video and the information provided👍🏼👍🏼
Magical. One of my favourite TH-cam Channels. I'm from Australia, and though things have improved here as far as shark interaction mitigation goes, there's still a lot of room for improvement. Especially along the east coast where curtain nets are still in use. Thanks for helping to dispel the myths surrounding these magnificent creatures.
Thanks for helping break down the fear factor my good brother 🙏🏼 Cheers from 🇦🇺 #Healthy #Oceans #Need #Sharks 🦈💙
Dude you have amazing footage. Thank you 🙏
Gorgeous video footage!!❤
I love your channel! Keep up the great educational content. And thank you!
Enjoyed myself while learning a lot. Thank you.
love your videos! thanks for doing them :)
I love that you are showing people that sharks are not the demons they think they are. Keep doing the great work you do!
Absolutely amazing footage 🔥👍🔥
Loved this footage. ❤
This is fascinating. Thank you.🥰
What a great way to show how many shark - human proximities exist without a bad ending for the human. I'm not saying people don't get attacked because they do, of course. But looking at all the encounters you have provided footage for of the most feared of sharks very near humans, I would say that it is a very slim chance of happening, more so than was previously thought by everyone.
Beautiful footage of those sharks taking people OFF their menu! You have a new follower!
Saw the majesty & power of the Great White while cage diving in South Africa few years back now, it sems though that they aren't there now. Such a huge loss.
Thank you for the breathtaking videos that helped my depression. You also inspired my new tattoo of the aerial view of 2 sharks so I can look at them daily for comfort. Aloha friend.
That's awesome! What a compliment and an honor. Thank you!!
Eye opening content. Keep up the good work!
Incredible footage yet again. Thank you
Love the videos. Keep them coming!
Love all your well done and thoughtful videos.
Beautiful footage of these graceful animals!
Do the surfers know that your drone coming in low means a shark is present? As an aside from your work, you are a very powerful set of eyes watching over the surfers. I often feel this way when I'm seawatching with a telescope - I'm not trained to rescue, but I'm always watching.
This footage is incredible, and it proves what those of us who know sharks have been saying all along - we are in the water with sharks all the time, and we are none the wiser because sharks don't want to hurt us.
What an awesome video of an amazing creature! Quite docile in the footage, just existing in its environment! ❤
Beautiful !!! Weldone ! You are so right : Coexisting 💙
My favorite so far. I feel refreshed and peaceful. I loved learning possibility of a sleeping circle 💙 🦈
Absolutely ❤️ your 🦈 vids!!
It's not just a California thing - it's a Florida thing, too. We coexist with sharks in the water and gators on land. 🧜🏽♀💜🦈
This is the channel I've been waiting for. I both fear and find a real beauty to these amazing animals. Shark junkie since I was a kid. 1970s
That was great and very educational!❤
I live in Huntington Beach and have seen them around, that was a great video, thank you.
Incredible, enjoying your videos so much!
I'm sure a lot of people will agree that they don't watch Full videos, but this really kept my attention the whole time. Not that I wouldn't shit my pants, but the video Definitely brings a peace of mind about a shark encounter. Keep observing 🙌
Manche Menschen können von dem Verhalten der Haie lernen. Der Hai ist in seinem Territorium und der Mensch hat dieses auch zu respektieren. Ein wunderschönes Video mit faszinierenden weißen Haien. Danke 😊
I am 71 and used to spend my summers as a teenager at different beaches, Santa Monica, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach etc body surfing & boogie boarding. Always knew sharks were probably around but loved the ocean and had no fear❤😊. After Jaws, sometimes got the willies! Lol 😆 but was never deterred from entering their territory.
Woww. I love your videos. The images, the voice, the music and the interesting information. Thank you in the name of sharks too. 🦈 ❤
Thank you very much!
Also, not all sharks in California are hungry. The bigger ones in shallows which stay calm and almost still use the gentle crashing of the small waves to help with body pains and injuries…kinda like a bubbling hot tub. A lot of the adults tend to do that more so than juveniles.
Amazing ! Love the footage and appreciation for sharks :)
Nice and informative, live your channel
Love from South Africa❤❤😊
@mikepcartlidge Love your videos and photos Carlos, they have really shown some fascinating insights to GW behaviour. Here in Western Australia we do not use shark nets and drum lines and I'm sure that you would see similar behaviour with your drone here.We to use buoys with sensors that ping when tagged sharks are in the vicinity which then can be communicated thru apps such as dorsal used by water users.
I love surfing but struggled with my fear of sharks. Your videos help a lot. I even surf alone at times now.
I think of all those years bobbing around on my boogie board at Leo Carrillo ,lol
Amazing .makes my heart pound!
Great video thanks for sharing
I’d be really curious to see if these interactions hold true across species. Say, tigers in Maui, for example.
Dude... this is some awesome footage. I wanna hang with U and make some films!
