    If you surfed for a year or more in California or Australia or Hawaii I guarantee there has been a Great White or Tiger that circled nearby just like this one in the video at some point.

      You know what is strange is that I use to dive around San Diego all the time back in the 80's and 90's and I never seen one great white, but seen everything else from dolphins to close encounters with whales to elephant seals. I guess I was just lucky. :)

    I once heard a lady in Hawaii ask a lifeguard if there were sharks in the water. He replied that if you swam in the water, you have already swum with sharks and just didn't know it. He was trying to reassure her that it was ok and she should just forget about it and have fun in the water, but I don't think she (or I) found it very reassuring. ;-)

    • @theroguedroner
      @theroguedroner  4 роки тому +17

      Lol that's fairly true. If you swim in the ocean it will happen eventually. Thankfully most of them don't really want to attack you. Just enjoy the water!

    awesome footage! Not truly stalking, but the shark def checked them out. Kinda reaffirms the idea that most human attacks are mistaken identity.

    Fascinating footage, the shark swims to within a few metres of the surfers and soon realised with the clear visibility that it wasn’t the food it was after and turns away from them 1:30

  • @porkeatingcrusader1199

    Brilliant video, the footage was unreal. I myself lived and surfed in Australia in Perth/Fremantle for 14 years, you always use to see sharks but never really payed much attention to them. But it does scare you the first couple times seeing them

    I had a shark encounter in Australia when we went surfing there. It was a beach close to Burleigh Heads / Surfers Paradise. The shark was just 2 m away from us and curious. I‘m such a shitty surfer; it took ages to get out of the water. It was a shocking experince. The amount of fear almost made me faint. The only good thing was the adrenaline kick, which was epic. The next day we went back in the ocean to overcome our fears.

    • @truthseeker6584
      @truthseeker6584 4 роки тому +6

    Snorkeling in Maui and an 8 foot Tiger just leisurely swam past about 10 yards away, never even gave me a look. I could have beaten Michael Phelps back to the beach (easily)! Fairly sure I set the new world record in the 100 meter (laughed at my wife for being so slow). Figured all I had to do was beat her back to the beach (ha-ha).

    I don't get how surfers can be so casual about this. I just don't freakin' get it. My cousin is a surfer who casually punches sharks in the face and laughs about these kind of situations but I just don't get why anyone would go into the fucking water when there are sharks like that. It literally makes no sense.

    Dam good footage ! I always carry my 3 foot pitch fork with me when im wading on the beach surf fishing down by Grand Isle . I keep my heavy duty 6 point pitch fork nice and sharp too ! Its the best weapon a man can have at his side ! A lot of people don't know that its convenient to carry it too ! I just stake it in the sand next to me with a rope attached while im wading and fishing . Shark are real vulnerable around the eyes , head , and gills area and will disengage from there pursuit and NOT come back ever again when being hit around the eyes region areas .... trust me ! Never know , it might save your life one day ? Always come prepare I say !

      @theroguedroner  4 роки тому +1

      Unfortunately the attempts were unsuccessful this time. They did include a low pass or "swoop". You can see one of these in the video towards the end with the two surfers. Thankfully this shark was just cruising past as most of them are out there. They're not really interested in the surfers.

    Great footage, bro. Seen u on the news last night. I only hope this doesn't lead to idiots tampering with this natural environment like humans own everything n can do what they want with it.
    I surf this very spot, by myself, probably a good 200 times a year on average. I'm absolutely certain I've unknowingly been in this situation countless times. Never even seen one shark out there tho. Only been called in once by some groms who saw one cruise right past me.
    So chew on that for some odds of how likely u r to actually get attacked by one of those beautiful beasts.
    They r majestic creatures n humans r no more worthy of life than the billions of fish and other sea creatures that get devoured by them every day. We risk becoming their next meal every time we enter their domain. That's just how it is. It's called nature, n should not b tampered with in any way.
