Woman Spots Great White Shark Next to Her & Reacts How Most People Would: Complete Surprise!

- In this weeks' video I share another typical beach scene from Southern California. These are merely observations remember. Once again, a great white shark comes very close to surfers that have no idea it is there. However, now there's a trend. People are now recognizing the drone signals a shark is nearby. Instead of avoiding the area, folks are now approaching the sharks by looking for the drone.

The most peaceful video of sharks I've ever seen. I felt calm watching them and found it endearing to see their curious behavior with the floating objects/trash.
Loo the Video where the Childs are playing.
White sharks are sooo friendly.
Shark 🦈 💭... Ohhhh COOL...a FRISBEE !!! 🤣🤣

*Children
bet that’s not what the woman thought 😂
Same here!!
Another fascinating look at *human* behavior.
No for real I was more interested in the reactions
This is one of those channels that really takes advantage of the sheer utility that is RUclips. Educational, entertaining, wholesome even. So much better than even television, who treats the sharks like some kind of terrifying amusement ride.
It's very interesting! And watching has made me want to buy my own drone, so I can have a new up close perspective of animals in the water and in the parks or forests I go hiking in. I can't wait to get it!
Shark Week is so stupid.
Lots of shark videos on YT are dramatized almost, the music, editing, designed to get the viewer's pulse racing.A thrill ride as you say that keeps the fear element. Drone footage is fascinating and the music in these videos is ideal. YT used to be a lot better before the increase in censorship.
@@amber619popsafer to!!
So would you go swimming alone with great white sharks without a cage?
When you spend a lot of time around sharks it can be very easy to forget you’re dealing with an apex predator. They can seem so curious and docile. Then you see them hunting, and you realize really quick how unfathomably powerful these animals are.
Even in my 20 foot boat I get nervous when a large shark starts hanging around. When they look at me I have a feeling they could have me if they so desired.
The KILLER WHALE is the APEX Sea Predator.
@Steve Sherman
LOVE your sexy " centrefold " shot dude !!! 🤣🤣🤣
Sharks are not apex predators just letting you know
@@vgbclean
🙄They ARE second in line only to Orcas , as far as danger factor goes ...BUT Orcas are NOT " man eaters"...as sharks are !! Hence they're an " Apex predator " as they DO actively hunt , attack AND consume humans !! ( And NOT just " mistaken identity " bites either !!)
What I learned from this video: Bird smarter than human....
hahahahaha
Lol 6:27 I understand your comment now lol😂
😂
Good way to get rid of stupid...
Good observation. I’ve always known humans were stupid but now we have proof !
Great videos.
Your footage and respect for the analysis of sharks is incredible
Shark 💭 Ohhhh COOL........
a FRISBEE !!! 🤣🤣
The sharks are brave to swim close to the most dangerous animal on earth. Excellent footage 👏👏👏👏
Humans are not animals, silly! 😂
@@SalsaSippin_😅 I whole heartedly disagree.
Hold on, are you saying humans are the most dangerous animals or paddle borders. Because I thought paddle borders were the most annoying second only to Cyclist.🤔
@@Matemaiden You look at yourself as animal! 🤣🤣🤣
considering we are a massive threat to LITERALLY their extinction and they are seen as a threat to us lol
Your videos are good for reducing my anxiety and improving my mental health. Thank you
Kind of paradoxical when this video is about shark-human interactions.
@@busybillyb33 That's what I thought. Perhaps it's because there are no attacks, just the sun shining off the sea, the sharks swimming, and people gliding through the water in their paddle boards. That might be it.
3:56
"Miss! There's a 10ft great white shark circling you!"
"I have a boyfriend."
Beautiful footage! I'm sad that now people are going toward the sharks. You've had rare opportunities to observe without human interference and now... People are interfering. Makes me sad. I love your videos! I will admit if I was on a paddle board and saw a shark, I'd panic. I have a strange fear of fish larger than a foot... So this is a healthier way for me to enjoy these beautiful creatures. ❤
This reminds me of the Freya sculpture in Oslo now ... For All our Sins.
If the shark gave them a bit of a nip it would be the shark that got hunted down.
Such is the world and humans apexness in 2023.
What is more annoying? The paddle boarders viewing the sharks in the sharks environment or the irritating whir of the drone while doing so?On an SUP You can see the sharks fine without the aid of the drone and the sharks are more than capable of taking care of themselves.
@@diamondchief724
Annoyance scale ...( Least to MOST !) # Drone noise # Paddle boarders chasing sharks , AND...#YOUR COMMENT !!! 😂😂 And I'm SURE you SHALL be annoyed by this comment !!! 😂
These sharks are killing machines. They are as dangerous as anything on the planet. They cover an area of thousands of miles. They are not some some friendly friend of nature waiting to meet you. If you saw one in the water you would probably be dead already. Here on the Calif coast visibility is about 10 feet on the best days. They are there and are looking for some fat stupid creature to eat.
It's not a strange fear, your fear is legit. If you didn't feel any fear at all then that'd be a problem. Nature programs your brain to have fear or to be cautious to protect you.
That lady waving the drone away is funny, clueless that it's in fact there for the lurking shark she's unaware of.
I love how many little behaviors and quirks youve learned about these animals through observing them.
Circling behind people to observe but keep distance, using their dorsal fins to touch/explore things. Awesome work man.
Also love the anecdote about how scarred sharks could be more likely to attack larger/marine mammals.
couldn't they use their dorsal fins to touch and explore us too? why it gotta be teeth all the damn time?
I discovered this channel maybe six months ago. I am always blown away by the footage. I was discussing some of your work with a friend of mine who had never seen your channel (he's now subscribed). Anyway I only access RUclips through a phone screen. My friend however has a MASSIVE internet connected TV that's worth more than my car, motorbike and mountain bike and last night I watched some of your videos on it. I am at a loss for words....
I am always amazed by the footage, but last night I was blown away with what I saw.
Thank you for the great work
A giant 4k tv is like 400 bucks.
I appreciate you pointing out their behavior. It makes it more interesting and I think I learned more from your comments and footage than other sources throughout life. ☺️👍🦈
Outstanding footage as usual. You never disappoint.
The ocean must be a beautiful place. From all the videos watched. Sharks and other creatures can have it. Happy to observe in knee deep water when there. 😂
Still doesn't deserve to be paid for uploading a video of a drone recording sharks.
@@billrobbins5874 , It absolutely is beautiful , the further out that you go , the more incredible things you might see. Stay out overnight where there is no light pollution and you'll never forget that night sky. At least once in your life you should go out 100 miles and stay overnight. You'll be glad that you did.
@@CooManTunes , What's wrong with you dude ?
@@rottweilerfun9520 Entitled RUclipsrs can kiss my ass.
You always make me so relaxed with you’re videos thank you!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate your input!
@@TheMalibuArtist so you took a video that shark
@@wildlifewarrior2670 I don't understand what you wrote. But yes, I film everything on my channel if that's what you are asking.
@@TheMalibuArtist yeah I thought that was you that was pretty cool though
Great video. Morons chasing a shark by using your drone - defeats the purpose you intended in warning people!
To be fair, it would be hard to know the drone is intended as a warning. Once the paddlers see the shark it’s a different story. Not a good idea to be chasing the shark but the drone pilot should also take some responsibility since he knows he’s attracting people to the sharks.
@@opencoast9763 He doesn't have to take responsibility for other peoples stupidity.
People will do anything to stupid nowadays. Its all good until they fall into the water.
@@opencoast9763 No, the drone operator doesn't have responsibility at all, they know why it's their, they are using it to locate the shark. They are chasing the danger and making a possible serious situation something like a tourist guide.
Big deal. Wise man says, "if you, go into that water, you are more afraid of those sharks, than they are of you!
If an idiot starts paddle boarding toward a shark, please lead them away. This reminds me of the video where the boat used the drone as a guide to stalk the shark. Annoyingly unfortunate. I’ve learned a lot from your observational footage-about sharks, humans and their interactions. Thank you for calling it _their_ environment!
seems like the debris pollution in th water is a much bigger threat to the sharks than some curious paddle boarders
@@4exgold hardly. that very stupid man on a paddleboard basically harassed the shark by continuously invading its space and when you do that to a wild animal usually they strike at some point. If that man gets attacked its humans in kind react by claiming we have a man eater on the prowl and the sharks are killed all because a moron on a paddleboard couldn’t respect the sharks space.
@@4exgold it’s a threat to the shark though.. they’re essentially preying on the shark and can cause the shark to become investigative or potentially even make the shark feel threatened.
Some people would love to see a shark up close, like that paddleboarder Sharks can be curious of them too
Dont go into the ocean if u dont want to be eaten by a shark indeed. It's their invironment, we should stay away as humans
Woah! That opening scene!
Thanks! Leopard Sharks are incredible.
Your videos are truly amazing. It never ceases to amaze me how little common sense some people have that know what your drone means, yet instead of retreating, follow the shark/drone putting themselves and the shark at risk by potentially aggravating the shark. Wish they would maybe? put up signs at beaches "Drone sightings = possible/probable shark sighting" or something of that sort to help those know, that are not otherwise aware, like those 2 ladies. Thank you for your videos.
The problem was that at least one of them knew what the drone meant and went there specifically to spot and film the shark.
Idiot behavior people!!!
I'm on the sharks side, go have free lunch
@@znail4675 Oh yes, I understand that 100%. They potentially put themselves at risk though by doing that, is what I was getting at. And the shark possibly as well.I do appreciate your comment though. ☺
There are other drones, too.
Unfortunately, that would probably have the opposite effect and more people would start following the drone.
Young shark: "Yo, what's floating?"
Dinner, yummie!
Mistaken Identity. Thought it was a seal
I Absolutely love your channel! Not only are your videos relaxing and informative, I also believe you are bringing a ton of positive views on sharks, that is a very good thing because they are mostly viewed as monsters whom will attack anything at any given chance
What a brilliant channel, it never gets boring watching these majestic creatures, thank you for bringing them to use who are living so far away from these beaches
A technique I use to measure our juvie sharks in Monterey Bay is by using the drone shadow. Take measurements in a controlled environment to get accurate measurement of its shadow and you can use calipers measuring the drone shadow using a still picture of it over the shark. It needs to be a vertical image and the shadow does not change in size much below 30 feet or so. I find it very accurate.
Great technique - what’s the largest shark you’ve observed out there?
@@BrotherManBilliam A 14-foot female that had a radio tag on her dorsal placed my Dr Domeier. I've documented a few 12-footers and many 9 to 10 footers.
Great info mate !! 👍😁
Excellent you truly are amazing! Thank you for your hard work and time. Some of your shots show behavior I've never seen before! It's exciting to see your videos pop-up.
The most adorable thing is watching juveniles just investigating things. It feels like watching a toddler notice the sky is blue.
So nobody gonna talk about how @ 6:27 that bird stuck his head under the water, saw the shark and got the fuck on! 😂😂😂😂! Pure Gold!
Those women were like "this creep fliming us in our bikknis"
You "there is a shark, don't get eaten"
I tend to disagree with the statement that paddle boarders and surfers "have no idea" there are sharks near them; if you are in the water, particularly that area, a shark is always near by. Surfers know this, we respect that fact and are aware of it every time we go out.
Honestly I shouldn’t be surprised but I am just how reckless and annoying these people are. I would have assumed the first instinct a human should have when they are in danger is to quickly get away. But social media has eroded this brain mechanism and people would rather die for a couple of 👍🏻 on a photo.
These sharks could easily nip at any of these people for going after them
yep, surfers are normally most respectful and aware of their surroundings cos they spend so much time in the water. Sharks can come and go in seconds.
Nice video thanks. Surface viz looks like it was from footage back in March? Dove the SM breakwater yesterday n got some invert. footage for my marine bio class. Very few pelagics just garibaldi. Plenty of smaller rays in surf zone for juvenile consumption. Worst viz in months post rain runoff brings nitrogen loads and spikes bacteria levels as well.
Thanks! This was shot in the last couple of weeks.
Thank you for showing how these simple-minded creatures swim around and do foolish and funny things.
Ohhh.... and the sharks are cool too.
🌊🌊🌊
😂😂My thoughts TOO !! ,👍
i love this we dont get to see the curious nature of sharks often enough always the hunting side
what is scary about those people chasing the sharks, is sharks have a way to deal with territorial threats to them, its called biting. while it's clear those sharks have no real interest in eating those paddleboarders one of those people is going to tick off the wrong shark and get a bit for his trouble. granted they usually don't get particularly territorial unless they're hunting dinner. but people acting like that only increases the chances.
I totally agree, makes perfect sense as well.
Its quite relaxing watch drone footage of these spectacular animals, perhaps not so much standing on a paddle board 🙂
You can totally not worry about me chasing your drones lol
Great footage of these beautiful creatures.🦈
Great footage. The huge shark at the end, watching the women, is unnerving 😮
When I was a kid in Australia, my family were visiting a family friend who was a fisherman. I went looking for him and found him at the top of the cliffs looking through binoculars. After saying Hi, he slammed the binoculars at my chest and ran off, saying “look at the windsurfer” I look through the binoculars, and see the windsurfer, who was sitting on the board. Then I see why our fisherman friend freaked out. There was a great white shark BIGGER than his windsurfing board, under his board, but deep down. Then, I realized that it wasn’t after a meal, it just wanted some shade from the hot weather. The windsurfer had no idea this ginormous great white was below him. Then I look down at the beach and see our fisher friend yelling ( couldn’t hear him from the cliff) and waving at the wind surfer. Eventually the wind surfer came in, the ginormous shark swam away. Then as the wind surfer approached our fishing friend. I could imagine what he said to him because the guys reaction was dramatic, he dropped to the sand crying, thinking how he was lucky to escape a great white shark, along with being in shock from the ordeal. But little did he know, that the shark only wanted some shade.
The monster fish actually wanted some meat on a cracker. Fisherman friend was right to be alarmed.
"Then, I realized that it wasn’t after a meal, it just wanted some shade from the hot weather." I'm sure it was sweltering in the water.
Did everyone start clapping at some point?
@@Ebmoclas19 No one else was around at the time.
@@alfredstimoli2590 All fish look for shade when it’s over 100 degrees.
Great footage, as always
Every child should be taught not to stalk and molest wildlife. What a horrible species.
Humans are vile creatures. We hunt, fight, kill. It is the human way. We are only the dominant species on the planet as we are the only ones to kill at distance. Every other species has to be next to you to kill. Many humans have no respect for nature.
Sounds like you are the predator
@@DearMines Humans are predators. Of sharks included. For entertainment, not food, the molesters pursue, follow and sometimes touch or jump on anything in the ocean that interests them.
Molest is a very strong word. Sounds like you been watching 'animal farm' too much
@@ellierose6 yes we are predators, we are also part of nature. if you don't like human nature then you don't like nature. like animals, we also hunt and stalk.
What I appreciate about your videos is how you show human interactions and how they can affect marine life!
After deep sea fishing, I realized how hostile the ocean is. Cast out some meat and within seconds, something was chewing on it
As a musician, I have to say that the best aspect of your content, is always the soundtrack, my friend. Keep up the good work, love the sharks, camera angles and music.
Yes I think you mentioned the " music" a few times !! 😂
So you came for the... MUSIC 🎶 ?? 😉😂😂
@@juliecook6057 just complimenting his work on the videos. He puts a lot of time into the audio and it's also original. Don't see how that came across as repetitive or irrelevant to his art as a whole. Very strange to mock someone for being positive and complimentary ?? 😂😂😉😉👍 try expanding your mind, Ms. Cook, yes that is called "music" 😂😂😉😉👍
@@samslenderman
Far out...TWAS a light hearted JOKE !!! Yes his videos are fantastic , the music is great !! My sincerest apologies if you were " offended " by my flippant ...but oh so egregious jibe to you !!
P.s... did you NOT notice the winking 😉 and chuckling / laughing 😂 emoji ???
Around 4:30 the shark stops moving forward it seems. observing what the people are doing. I have seen another great white video where it just stays still and look at the people on the boat from underwater. I wonder what they are thinking or making out. what is there though process like.
Fascinating, there are some big WS here locally. Thanks 🦈🦈🦈🦈
sharks are smart.... they know which end is front and rear.... and always investigates from rear.... smart move indeed.
Great video as always!
Beautiful footage as always!
Always such quality content 🦈
Loved the intro scene on this video
5:41 Is he playing with the object?.
That's so cute, I love sharks. 🦈 ☺👍
The people using the drone to get closer to getting bit by a shark are the reason darwinism exists.
Such good images. Thanks for your videos. I normally avoid shark clips as not to spook myself out of the water. But I always watch your stuff.
I fear that one day you will witness a very unfortunate and brutal encounter. It is not even a question of "if", but "when?". And the hardest part of it is that you will not be able to intervene, in any way... the filming is absolutely spectacular, and they are interesting and intelligent creatures. Be safe and be ready to face the inevitable "unexpected". Cheers!
I'm pretty sure if such an encounter were to happen, more likely than not it will be the human's fault. You can see here how stupid some people are. But of course, once again the big, bad shark will be blamed.
@@GMObkirchner I think there is no point antropomorphizing and assigning moral responsibility to any animal. Humans assume risks entering their habitat and rubbing elbows with them. It is as simple as that. However, the humans remain the top predator on this planet and, when they arise, territorial disputes are generally solved in favor of the top predator. One way to look at it is to appreciate the behavior of the surfers as very graceful and showing no aggression...
@ConstantinDV of course humans are the top predator due to weapons. A human without a weapon vs a Great White shark is no longer the apex predator. It's lunch
@@raymondsublett3108 To be honest, weapons are to a human what teeth are to a shark, a means of survival. It's not like we are using a cheat code or something, it's simply that people are better at problem solving than sharks. That doesn't mean that the solutions we come up with are not destructive or that they are wise. It just means what it means.
As a side note, it is really disturbing to see people act so carefree in the presence of danger. Learning to co-exist with a top predator (or nature in general)/ accepting the dangers of swimming in the sharks territory and actively playing with fire are 2 different things. I hope none gets hurt and that people would be come more level-headed.
Maybe it’s already happened he just wouldn’t share it maybe out of respect or any reason idk
Love it. Who knew drones were the future of shark observation and potential shark warning system. Brilliant. Liked and subbed....
Australia is using them at many more swimming beaches now !! 👍
As always this is great footage of behaviours we don't usually get to see.
It'd be really great if you could team up with a shark researcher on RUclips and breakdown some of this behaviour even further. I find the way they interact with objects so fascinating and maybe someone like Kristian Parton (Shark Bytes) could tell us what research has been done in that area.
The juvenile shark was stoked that it FINALLY came across a.....FRISBEE !!!🥏 🤣🤣
At some point you are going to film an unfortunate encounter that doesn't end well for the human, the shark, or both. My opinion is that it be shown. As you've said, people are now associating your drone with a shark in the water and are using it to approach the sharks rather than just be aware. Making people aware there is a shark near them is fine, but having them use your drone to approach them is not safe and that point isn't getting through despite your best effort. Respect for the shark is being lost in the number of safe encounters that we see. Nothing will bring that point home faster than seeing an encroachment turn into an encounter gone wrong.
So this will happen.
If they choose to approach a massive fucking shark and get hurt then that’s their fault not his let’s be honest
Im getting a drone to film attacks in florida def an anti shark channel Im startinh
Q
Well if the humans want to be foolish and follow a shark let them. Its their life if they want to be gobbled up. As long as they injure no one else but themselves. Go ahead I say, be dinner for Jaws.
Great work! Thanks for sharing your creations with us!
Thank you
These creatures are very sophisticated and it’s great to learn about them.
Thank you so very much I grew up in Hermosa and sadly far from now… what a beautiful video
I've noticed the younger sharks tend to stay at the 'tail end' of the larger sharks when they interact with each other--not too surprising as a favorite food item for larger sub adult white sharks is smaller sharks.
Sharks are catching on knowing that if they see the drone, some people should arrive soon :)
Love watching your videos. Do you ever film the reaction of talking to any of the people that were close to the shark in the water? I’d love to see their reactions after the fact.
I love looking at the beauty of the ocean... From the safety of my condo.
Exactly!!!
Better than anything I’ve ever watched during Shark Week
Chasing the 8ft White Shark is not advisable folks...seriously....Carlos, if you had a second drone operator that could launch with a sign attached that said "Big Shark Near You, GTFO of the water" what might make them think twice. :) (Being facetious, but at the same time...not)
Panicking and darting away isn't a good idea, either ... Don't approach, don't panic, don't start a chase you will surely lose.
@@ellierose6 Those sharks on the surface are generally in relax mode. They're sunning, surfing, looking at babes, etc. They are not in hunting or territorial mode so they are not going to be aggressive for the most part (you never know what a wild animal is going to do) and I think people are taking advantage of that. It will certainly only be a matter of time (the bull shark fatal attack in Australia...girl wanted to swim with dolphins) before some idiot jumps off this waverunner, paddleboard, whatever (surfers are generally respectful of the ocean, they are more in tune with nature than the puds that race around on the wave-runners and most of the paddle-boarding folks) and gets bit, or worse.
I look at it this way: How would you like it if you were just swimming along minding your own business and someone started chasing you on a paddleboard? Or worse, started doing donuts around you on their wave-runner? I'd feel threatened....as I'm 100% positive anyone reading this would. I'd bite someone's arm off.
the sharks’ interaction with the plate is so adorable to me 😂
Thank you for the work & education you provide. It's so sad to see plastic & garbage in the ocean😢. We must be aware of leaving trash around when we go to the beaches.
Yeah but the shark was VERY HAPPY about the FRISBEE !!!🥏 Woohoo 👍🤣🤣
What an amazingly beautiful animal... not humans, the sharks lol
The plot for Jaws 4 writes itself...
Thank you, they are so graceful
So I now know that when I see a drone, to get my camera out bc there is a shark nearby. Don't worry, I won't be in the water. I will be in a big axx boat bc I don't swim in the ocean. 😂😂😂 It's very commendable that you try to warn people with your drone.
Beautiful creatures, amazing footage 🙏
pretty sure that if any of those idiots get hurt, other idiots will blame it on you
Had to laugh at the two women on the paddle boards waving the drone away, ' oh don't look at me you perv'.
Your videos are so relaxing.
Thank you !!!!
Great video!
I grew up, swimming, and boogie boarding in these waters, completely oblivious, thank goodness, to whatever was below me. But, now that I know, I’ll enjoy the ocean from afar! However, This Is Fascinating to observe! Thank you!! 🙌
I love your channel! Beautiful! And I can tell you have a deep love and respect for sharks!
Thank you!
I found this fascinating.
I'm sure your research will be very rewarding and very Interesting.
I'm certain it will also be very beneficial for all who use the ocean too.
Dude your videos and narration/voice make for such relaxing enjoyable viewing!
brilliant view!! thank you
Big fan here. It would be nice to know what to do, I know that you've said before its better to leave them be and give them space, but with these video and the risk a big shark represents, it begs the question: should you slowly but surely move away? And would there be a way for you to incorporate maybe a tiny siren that lets people know "danger - stay away". I'm going to look for something super light weight that may help. A flashing led and micro speaker with high output that doesn't intervene with your drone and drain its battery to much. IDK... I think you used to have a device that alerted people, what happened with that implementation?
Sharks are fascinating to watch but I really loved listening to the music in the background it felt calmer
how interesting they touch it with their fin!
Long rainy winter in California?
I'm from the UK and the media always give the impression that it's always sunny in California. However wasn't it Mark Twain who said the coldest winter he'd ever spent was a SUMMER in San Francisco 😊
Long rainy winter in California means average 7-14 days of raining in the year in some places of Cali. Most places in Cali are sunny year long.
Illogical, Captain...
Long rainy UK winter starts in late August and might ease off in May, possibly. 😂
@@Anmeteor9663 Wrong, it doesn't ease off until July...
We have had many days of rain this year. Not the norm for Southern California.
I love sharks and I love your channel. I trully enjoy your vids. Keep doing what you do!
Love from Spain! :)
Beautiful… but I can’t help but imagine how differently this same visual and narrative would be with a different soundtrack 😂
Great information 🦈!
I love your channel! The visuals are stunning and the music is spot on!
Fascinating video. Sharks are very curious. I don't understand how humans feel so safe on a paddle board, that 11-12 foot shark could so easily capsize that board.
Thank you for your fascinating videos and commentary, so informative. I’m quite grateful that you respect and appreciate these amazing creatures. I wish all humans would!
Awsome video's, they're so mesmerizing!
Your videos have become my evening and morning for relaxation videos
I love how you are showing us the sharks how they actually are with no special filming effects scare music and all that manipulative portrait of these beautiful creatures
Kudos my friend ❤
Wow, this is fascinating! Amazing footage!
Thanks for your work to add to our scientific knowledge. I also appreciate your effort to warn those whose ignorance puts them in possible harm’s way. You’re doing two of the most difficult jobs I’m aware of, and from my perspective very well.
Hello Malibu Artist, im an avid bodyboarder from Redondo Beach. You and Scott Fairchild have given me anxiety because of your videos. I know you're just filming what's already there. When i suit up i look like a plump sea lion because I'm 6'2 and 320 pounds. I paddled out in Ventura (just north of Rincon) and i totally creeped myself out. I took a quick sloppy wave in because i keep thinking about your videos. I desperately want to be in the water but now I'm scared because of the increase in adult whites. I'm not sure what it's going to take to get over my fears. Maybe i need a long time out from the RUclips videos. I have seen juvenile white sharks most my life because of the nursery just north of me. I've also encountered 3 large whites in the wild. I bolted for safety all three times. Sorry for babbling, I'm sure there are other watermen that are scared too.
I feel you. I grew up bodyboarding Burnout in the 80’s with Brian Press…get this I was out at SoftTops( N Redondo Jetty) and after a wave landed on a huge massive something that was right under me. Had to be an adult White. Practically sharted my suit. Yeah it’s sketch now compared to the old days of Redondo….who else feels this way?
Unfortunately, as seals shift their grounds, so will the sharks and other predators. Cape Cod is currently experiencing this as well.
Beautiful footage as always.
Based on their pasty white skin color. Not Californians.
Think I read somewhere that only 1 in 5 people here today are native.
Your videos make me wonder back in the 70s and 80s if what we saw frequently and considered Big Makos were actually Whites.
Paradise Cove used to get visited by Orcas all the time. Lots of rays between the pier, what use to be the pier and Point Dume.
They used to go after the seals on the point marker as well.
The bird when saw the shark underwater. ( Run ) 🏃🏃🏃🏃 😂😂
