Great White Sharks Swim Close to Surfers

- Around half a dozen Juvenile Great White Sharks were seen swimming in the surf lineup. At times they would come incredibly close to the surfers. A great reminder that sharks and humans co-exist peacefully the majority of the time.
There was one surfer that pointed a shark out, but other than that I couldn't tell if the surfers knew about the sharks or not.
Filmed off Del Mar, California
Beautiful captures!
Great, peaceful video!!
1:14 That’s a big one!
I liked the meeting of the 2 sharks head-on. They both veered to their right which worked well. Wonder if they have a system?
Sharks definitely have complex social systems, though I am not sure if one of the rules is 'always veer to the right', but maybe!
No. One of the sharks ..forst one was pro active...changed direction first..chose to be right..and second shark after one second when he realized where forst turned was reactive ..and reacted by turning to oposite direction. Rules are simple avoid other sharks especialy if They are bigger ..They have biega jawna and teeth.
So happy to see more people bringing awareness. Thank you for this video!
I would love to see you come and fly your drone out in Santa Cruz. I want to do it myself but unfortunately I do not know how to pilot a drone properly and do not want to spend a huge amount of money on a drone only to loose it over the ocean. I have spent hundreds buying drones a few different times for my son and each I couldn’t control them. Once time it was headed for town and I couldn’t get control so I had to drop it to stop it and it broke sadly. I need help badly. Anyways, if you get the chance I would love to see the waters in Santa Cruz.
Drones can be a challenge for some people and that's totally OK! I find that practicing in low pressure situations helps tremendously with gaining confidence :)
Is this Del Mar?
Relative to the surfers these White Sharks are not large; putting it another way they have not yet changed from a fish to a mammalian diet.
Yes, these are juvenile great whites and live off of animals like sting rays, it's not until they are larger that they go after seals and sea lions. However their mammalian diet does not include humans :)
They were confused as to who to eat.
They are not confused :) GW Sharks this size usually go after things like small fish and sting rays.
Nice Shots! Be careful of the Military Aircraft’s while flying there.
Thanks! and yep, I'm very aware of any air traffic around when I'm out flying. The same goes for you, too!
@@headedanywhere yep! The worst thing though, is when people on private aircraft’s come and disturb the sharks. Last week, there was a private helicopter in the air, that started spinning around on top of sharks at an attitude of 30 feet when 400 is the limit. Keep up the good work!
Gods creatures
Epic Footage!👍🏼 What time of day was this filmed? I’ve filmed a few sharks near the reef but the water clarity wasn’t too good
I usually go out mid morning
Beautiful misunderstood apex predators.
