- A young Aussie surfer unknowingly shared a wave with a shark, and only found out because his dad caught it on camera. Report by Lydia Batham.
Wow!! Glad this ended well and no one got hurt.
‘I thought I saw a dark shape but I just kept taking photos’. I have no words lol
Dad: blah blah blah
Kid: 😀
Sharks don't get startled, they get hungry.
To me it looks like a bloody big shark.
We used to go swimming at this beach in Rhode Island as kids. And we would go in pretty deep, like up to our necks because we thought there were no dangerous sharks out there in shallow water. Last week off the exact same beach not too far from shore a guy catches a great white!! Even though I was swimming in the waters 15 years ago I'm still scared to know that there were probably sharks around me.
I'm very late to the party here but sharks frequent knee deep water. They love the shoreline and hunt rays there. We've had 4m+ sharks 2m offshore here in Australia.
The most Aussie Interview ever?
1InchLegend aka. Icebørrg They didn't put the shark on the BBQ so I guess it could be even more Australian.
1InchLegend aka. Icebørrg jò
That's not Australian that's Italy
no, it's not I'm Australian and that's clearly my accent
I’m Aussie
I thankful the little boy is safe and unharmed.
looks like the shark was swimming backstroke under the wave.....
Awesome photo!!! Sharks have evolved over millions of years to be effective and efficient predators. If this shark wanted to feed or bite this young lad or anyone else out surfing that day it could have and would have with no problem. This animal was more likely checking out what this "unusual thing" was in its ecosystem and when it realized it was nothing of relevance to its life, it turned away and went about its day. Don't fall into the trap of "Shart(Shark) Week Dramatizations" thinking they are ruthless killing machines. If this were true, beaches would be bloodbaths on the daily. We don't provide the nutrients they prefer for survival, hence we aren't a desired food source. Yes occasionally people get bit and once in a while its a feeding bite, humans have eaten humans too when they were hungry enough. It's ok to be concerned, its better to be educated and respectful.
Sharks have killed humans before
problem with your logic is "if all sharks are smart" but like everything else, you'll get some dumb shark that would feed on humans too. So don't want to take that chance.
Some sharks are unscrupulous as well; and wouldn’t think twice about putting their mother in a nursing home or even selling you a flat soda. So, there’s always that to consider.
He was shocked...can you imagine what the shark was think? Shark's thought, I was just swimming along and sunning myself and this kid suddenly was in my wave. I'm like OMSG!(Shark God) where did that kid come from?!
why shark god? its not like we think oh my human god...
😂😂
Wow the sharks mouth was opened and it was turned on its side ready to have lunch , close call my kid would not be going surfing again
It looked like a ragged tooth shark. They always have an open mouth.....They're not particularly dangerous.
Kid wouldn't be here if the shark wanted him. They like cruising waves too..like dolphins
The kid looks like he’s in some sort of trance.
Shark was just trying to give his best smile for the photo!
Wow as an Aussie myself l wouldn't be worried , the Shark looked Like he was Catching a Wave on his Back & enjoying it too , Just Like the Kid , lol !
That's the most surfer accent ever lol
next time gonna be ,,its just happend i left my legs in the ocean '' .
Some of the criticism directed at the father is absurd. I will know them if I ever encounter them irl - they will be the ones whose children still haven't learned to walk yet.
Omg!! Glad he is safe!
I don’t blame them for adding subtitles
shark attacks are like the lottery you have to be in it to win it
It's all fun and games, till someone gets chomped.
What are we actually looking at? If thats the underneath of a pectoral fin, its a big one? Or is thatthe head moving left upside-down?
Dad: son, what are you doing today?
Son: thinking of surfing again.
Dad: Go play video games instead.
Son: you said they were bad.
Dad: I lied.
Australian version of the "Helium Balloon Boy".
The father THOUGHT he saw a dark shape nearby his child ...and instead of rescuing his son ....he just kept taken photos .......
Marylou42 calls out to son in panic, son loses focus and falls of board, proceeds to panic and attract an otherwise curious shark to a stranded food source smelling like fear
Vassago Records Yes but Dad didn’t give that reason did he? He just wanted to keep on taking pictures of it lol
@@fairlyvague82 probs would've scared the kid which would have made him fall off his board anyway.. still should have told him to stop surfing and go back onto shore
I don't think the kid even noticed the shark!
It appears his head is looking towards that way. It probably happened in a brief 2-3 seconds.
the problem is the colour of his neo! SHARKS HATE YELLOW, GUYS sray away from yellow board or neo, it makes them angry
The real question should have been "why aren't u hitting 1oclock on that wave"....I'm mean, unless he had a quad set up, and he was going for the speadline..true?
That is a surfer duck diving while paddling out ! It looks twice as likely to be that than a shark swimming upside down ! They don't swim that way as if they are upside down they go into a sleep like state !
praise God he's okay and more people don't get hurt in this world.
Good thing you had someone up above watching out for you.
I live around here. It was a surfer duckdiving the whole thing was setup for the old mans real estate business.
lesson learned, always have good underwear on when sharing a wave with a shark
from last year
was another surfer going under the wave
Geez ...the father is either drunk or talks gibberish.
Or he’s on national tv and not comfortable
umm he's Australian and so am I and that's not nice
them gromets
I really don’t know but why would a shark be upside down. I thought they went into some kind of suspended animation if that occurs. Very curious.🇦🇺
Well, I cannot tell you how horrifying the pareidolia is in this photo for me! 😮
Not everyone has a Jaws photobomb pic!
I would have shit everywhere if i saw that shark while surfing
What to do with a kid you are really tired of , take them surfing in Australian waters Wash D C
Im America, you "forget" and leave them in a hot car.
officeaddict33 wow wth
In Mexico, you sell them for a bag of crack
You're going to need a bigger surfboard.
I wonder if that was the kid’s last surf 🤔
but how can this sport be practiced even if there is death at sea?
is he step son of this man?
Australia are brave and crazy.
Lol @ subtitles
I'm pretty sure it was a tuna.
Its weird if a shark crashed your back yard of local shopping ctr you'd be more than amazed.
we see them where they belong and we are still amazed??
Based on shape of snout and belly, by guess is a great white and it looks like it was ready for lunch.
If it was ready for lunch, the boy would be missing a limb.
Definitely great white. Not ready for lunch though. They actually enjoy catching waves, just like dolphins. It wasn't interested in the kid, mate. If it were, little dude wouldn't be here...or at least a limb short.
@cryptojihadi265 Exactly, mate👌🏻
Playing in waters that man eaters live to me is just nuts.
Dreama40
Man eaters? You watch too many movies lol. I swam with sharks. You have higher chances of dying on land. That's nuts for you.
@@moto__shark You can't predict if a wild predator is going to attack you or not lol no good reason to take the chance
@@nasirthesenatejohnson6935
In that case, we all shouldn't drive, take planes, etc., because we can't predict what will happen. As a matter of fact, you have higher chances of dying in a crash than dying from a shark attack lol
*WHAT THE FRICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
My Jaw!!!
Cool but so glad eden was safe!
I wouldn't put my son in danger like that,
Pay to play, its what life is all about!
Everything is a risk even driving more risky than surfing and surfing is fun and most people who surf never get attacked by sharks
It's Australia..we have venomous snakes and spiders and yes there are sharks....we Aussies don't view it as danger...just living....hence our expression "she'll be right"..who wants to live worrying about what might happen?...just get on with it.
so how would you put ur son in danger then?
No?
It's too flat to be a shark it looks like a surfer duck diving in a wave
Allison Roller Skates ur right i also saw the same thing
It does look a little suss the way its mouth goes all the way to the edge , the only thing is , thats not where you put your hands when you duck dive . A shark sounds much more exciting !!
Id really imagine they would have known if it was a surfer for obvious reasons.. Ppl wouldnt be in the surf lane during someones wave and all the ppl watching would have been like it wasn't a shark there was another surfer paddling out and it was him.. It looks flat as U put it because of water light refraction and it's also the side/bottom of the shark not the top where it's dorsal fin would be
If you need subtitles to understand these guys then you must be a foreigner or cant speak English m8
that's just surfer duck diving. This means the kid doesnt look where he surfs if he thought it was a shark/ didn't see the dude duck diving xd
How could you send any kid out there to surf / swim knowing the risk ?
Tim Adkins
How can you put a child in a car knowing the risks? You make no sense.
Uhh sharks rarely attack and if it does it's most likely defending or just curious it's hardly a risk
So what we should put kids in a bubble and never let them do anything?
If your worried about a kids safety... just don't have kids!
clearly tim is an over protective pussy who will raise a cowardly man
It ain’t a shark. It’s clear as day another surfer duckdiving. You can see the front of his board, his hands are on it, the dark shape is him in his wetsuit, and you can see the small wave pushing out each side that was made when he pushed down through the surface.
Id really imagine they would have known if it was a surfer for obvious reasons.. Ppl wouldnt be in the surf lane during someones wave and all the ppl watching would have been like it wasn't a shark there was another surfer paddling out and it was him They wouldn't just go along with it being a shark.. The odds of a surfer paddling out in the surf lane during someones wave and somehow not being seen by any of the ppl watching the competition are damn near astronomical
No one paddles out through a ‘surf lane’? Dude do you even surf? Aussie beaches are full of kooks and surfers having people paddling across in front of them is normal. It wasn’t a competition. It was just a dad taking photos of his kid surfing and found this one and claimed it was a shark. If that’s a shark with it’s mouth opening then it’s swimming belly up. That’s far more unlikely than a surfer duck diving in front of another. They were either mistaken with the photo or searching for a couple minutes of fame
So agree
It’s clearly a surfer.
On top of that no shark swims upside down as it looks like with this supposed shark.
Yes, and all surfers should always stay on the left hand side of the Surf Lane, and indicate before pulling out, haha, to overtake a slower moving surfer..
I lost internet 😩
To me that looks like the tip of a surf board and the back of a surfer ducking into the wave....
looks like a white pointer clearly so
Focus RPA - Aerial Imaging Services wrong nerd
I am no shark expert but what i do know from watching diffrent animal programs is that almost every shark have a state called tonic immobility this happen when a shark is turned upside down something happens in the brain of the shark and it falls into a trance, almost a state of full paralysis. It would be very unlikely to have this shark in this position and not suffer from tonic immobility. If this is legit then it could absolutly be one that not suffer from tonic immobility but it is clear if it is a shark it is upside down. Some years ago an Orca killed a great white and it was determined that this was the way it was done. For some cleranse orcas do it all the time to stingrays that also suffer from tonic immobility. Here is some of the research. ruclips.net/video/axPR1l6UTe8/видео.html
I agree. With you
dmgbringer, I think you will find a shark is perfectly capable of moving through the water column in pretty much any position, including being inverted. Interestingly scientists have discovered that Great Whites are less susceptible to Tonic Immobility than are other species of shark and to induce the state would require the shark to be held upside down for a certain period of time.
Darling boy!
Great photo shopping guys, haha.
Solamente el 🦈quería compartir 🌊👨 gracias a Dios no le pasó nada al👨❤
His accent 😍
Cool that you lived to tell about it. Get back out there and try your luck again. Nobody ever really gets bitten or eaten. That's just in ther movies and story books.
Kind of looks like a dolphin 🐬
Whats' with the subtitles? Like people can't understand english!!!!!
people sometimes prefer subtitles
White pointer for sure its belly up
Sharks don't swim belly up. That's not a shark. I think it's a diver like all the surfer dudes are saying in the comments.
Scooby snack
I once shared a wave with a shark.. he was in the local supermarket shopping for fresh human legs.. it was only a brief encounter as I'd just remembered I'd completely soiled myself, so had to run 🙈💩👀🤤
Good thing for me that when I sense a shark I excrete shit like a squid or a skunk. Never been attacked in my life!
OH GOSH
bite size
F that
Child services anyone.
Luckily your still alive. Its a hungry shark
lol they look like yuppies
Look at his face!!!
It is 100% FAKE!!
Morningglory really!!!
Photoshop
🦈 sharks are friendly, They're in the water to play with surfer's,if they wanted to eat Humans then maybe every day the whole world Will be filled thousands of casualties 😇😇😇
Wow they need to get out the sun lmao
Dad thinks it great wouldn't be laughing if is kid had fallen off in front of the shark it would have been goodby curly

Oh yeah my boy just got on his board and went back out there DUHH" NEWSFLASH DAD, this time he was lucky there will be a next, and could end up going to the boys funeral. Ignorance is so overpopulated these days, the boy and all surfers are playing Russian roulette
Ignorance is judging other people for getting on with life instead of worrying about what MIGHT happen.
Since 2010 Australian average is about 15 shark attacks per year with an average of 3 fatalities. Australian road fatalities in 2017 were 1225. I'm off to the beach, hope I make it and don't get killed or injured on the way. I know I'LL BE SAFER ONCE I'm in the water!
Wrap yourself and your family in cotton wool and hope nothing happens to them or get on and enjoy life!
Did you hear what the dad said? After he looked at the foto he called his son away from the next wave and out of the water and warned the other surfers.
Fake!
Fake.
Lol, what an attention seeking couple of kooks. They both know as well as everyone else that its quite clearly another surfer duck diving through the face of the wave. Their back being the last part yo be submerged and causing the boil on the surface of the water. Take half a second earlier we'd have been treated to the sight of the back of someone's wetsuit.
Haha! Clearly? When was the last time you saw a shark swim belly up through a wave!? It’s a surfer duck diving and if you believe it’s a shark you’re a gullible goose! These kooks relied on guys like you silly enough to believe their photo. Did they offer up the photos either side of this one for us to see? No because it would have showed the surfer in the frame before
Real annoying accent
Australian waters ? Might as well send the kid in the hood with money hanging out of his pocket
