"Me, my shark and I". My GoPro video by Chuck Patterson

[PumaOPumaOPumaO]

That splashing water is the single most annoying sound ever.

[GrantInRealLife]

Erm...fuck that for a laugh.

[RBKL777]

Wow that's was just insanity. Great footage.

[ashesoneeight]

Chuck norris patterson fishing

[TheNobleSnowboarders]

[benblackproductions]

Wow I would be into shore in 1 minute if I was out there ... Lol, nice vid!

[chadwad12]

Forget that. You couldn't pay me enough to get out there on a board and stick a GoPro camera in the water to film a shark. Shark Week on TV is close enough for me. haha.

[Rubin33]

chuck- i surf san o every now and then. haven't seen a shark but just huge dolphin pods. i'm amazed that you stayed out there that long. i so wanna see a great white but not sure about it while on my board! thanx for the great video.

[7RAFAGT]

[jacksworld09]

[theyoungbuffalo]

[Wetfins]

That was creepy when the shark came towards the camera from dark water. Jaws1

[huevocartoonable]

[macewindex]

Excuse me shark, I was looking at the water.

[StraightOffTheCliff]

yeah soooo I like the footage but dislike the shark ;-)

[peaceeloveechloee]

Diina sent me here! she taught me how to surf nd told me to go watch this!!

[luckynluv7]

Holy $hit!!! Amazing!!! :)

[jennyboom]

CHEEZUS!!! Nice vid!

[gringodeltoro1]

How did you get the camera out of the Shark's stomach?

[kmmilox]

I'd have made the water around me a lot warmer in a situation like that.

[mudcatproductions]

...and you said "you can't wait to do it AGAIN!!!???" Thats freakin NUTS!!! Are you CRAZY!!!!??? They were concidering eating you! You Know that don't you?! OMG, I was scared for you!!

CHECK OUT MY PAGE WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE, and be safe!!!

[3Storm]

I think my heart rate went up by just watching this.

[eusaquio]

If u see a shark you should make no brutal movements right??.. what would happen if u panicked and swam as fast as you can?? there would be no gopro video on youtube

[jp12245]

how did u mount your gopro?

[Maccaism]

i would have shat my pants.

[RichiePoo28]

that is amazing and awesome, you're balls must be gigantic

[motocross363]

Tbh I would cry I would ball but bro. Ur fukin crazy I would be screaming

[peteu2boy]

[dudesarefly]

[ATCRyderX]

Dude...Fuck...that! lol

[loldocs]

[delphis040]

Freakishly awesome!

[zososierp]

You're gonna need a bigger boat. 

[buffified]

sharks scare the shit out of me, just watching this video i start to breath shallow and fast...dude your a little crazy!!

[TheNickthequik]

if i was wearing a hat... i would take it off to you

[Cougnut5150]

I must say it takes larger than average sized testicles to remain calm and continue filming.

[fixplanes]

hahahahaha HOOOOOOLY SHIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rine80012]

WTF tha was scary

[LifePsyop]

Let polly do the printing!

[lekstuntkite]

look like danger

[Cre8iveStudios]

i don't know how the fuck u did this. im freaking out just watching this video

[utsawin09]

@Cre8iveStudios exactly my situation....scary as fuck, i shat a brick

[Clankasita05]

Keep doing this and you'll see darwin swimming right behind one of them great whites.

[TwintipsRockz]

i dont think that shak wanna be you friend!

[iowazzupfellows83]

i would shit in my pants

[mduncan1234]

OOOOOHHHH HELLL NO



[blondemomentHK]

Screwww that!



[BC3602]

this guy was smart he stayed in one spot so the sharks won't get alarmed and confuse him with a seal because sharks eyesight aint to good and alot of shark attacks are just because of that

[MrBest7]

Nice video, but you need a bigger boat.

[mccky580]

I get it being an insane experience.....But hope to enjoy again soon....Good luck. Too much on here about shark attacks, hope you don't end up joining them.

[tombonomy]

very cool. way to keep your cool. I love those tanks at san o, they remind me of boobies like frank drummond from naked gun.

[rauriiuzumaki2]

DANGEROUS



[nomadgreg]

veRy cool, you aRe the masteR of baiting shaRks

[Aberman96]

Oh my god! I wouldve been pissing my pants if that was me!

[TikiB0b]

Hey dude I have some photo's of you at a SUP com at C-Street. Not the best quality but what the heck! Not big on SUPs but it's all authentic/legit surfing to me.

[clynt1231]

Dude WHERE IS THIS!!!!!!

[afip4n6doc]

@clynt1231 San Onefre, California (about an hour's drive north of San Diego)

[clynt1231]

@afip4n6doc Wow niceeee haha and that shark was a beauty :D

[RegenerateV2]

You spelled Norris wrong.

[smellycat389]

that's a healthy dose of fear

[Mrburton35]

10 people pissed their pants just watching!

[therealchunkymonkey]

Insane! Looks like you were a few seconds away from lunch. Good Job staying alive!

[eyesac2481]

Stand up paddles should only be used in rivers and open ocean. Not is surf because my friend was surfing and a s.u.p. Caused him to have an accedent which he has not recoverd from yet

[duty2hiturbooty]

@eyesac2481 or injure others as well

[marioorange]

have you ever thought to make a video from the inside of a shark

if i were you i wouldnt approach these animals

[nikkotu]

AMAZING!!

[jcweights]

9 sharks watched this video

[DarkZeeds]

@jcweights 12

[dmimcg]

Laird Hamilton rules. dude, you are so B list.

[4SecondStudios]

They are truly beautiful creatures, great video!

[manihss]

Chuck Norris changed his name to Chuck Patterson.

[351Cpowered]

I'd be afraid to take a bath after I encountered that shit.

[dinodemario]

Had a similar experience while diving off of Morro Bay-One swam right by me while coming outta some kelp-it was small like this one (9-10 feet)-was so close I could touch it-circled me once or twice and took off...Magnificent creatures they are.

[winchester369]

his pectoral fins were pointing down, that was a show of aggression! I am surprised you are here to share the vid!

[AlbertKok69]

Relax guys..just a GW. Good that they are still around. Good shot Chuck!

[AlbertKok69]

Relax everybody. Just a GW. Good that they are still around! Nice shot Chuck..

[shakeamabuckreet]

"an insane experience which i hope to enjoy again soon" - what the hell man you're hectic!

[FeelthySanchez]

God speed, Chuck

[benelli12]

your balls must be resting on the ocean floor - you're crazy!

[benelli12]

holy shit, your balls must be resting on the ocean floor - you're insane!

[MathewMcMullen]

Dope footage, your nuts!!! haha

[Alcahest]

Way too fucking close for comfort, you'e crazy bud!

[MrMcnuggets5]

Fuck Bear Grillis now is Chuck Patterson vs. Wild

[theantiredneck]

The says "Oh it's just a Great White" like it was a carp or something!

[nate3535]

is that out at the Diablo canyon power plant?

[reid5706]

Chuck Patterson is my hero.

[DemetriusFarias]

Dude,

You are very brave, very stupid! But one thing is certain: you managed to capture great images. It's a file to be passed to their children and grandchildren.

Good luck on your adventures!

[halfbeastlove]

...you need a bigger boat.

[miri0020]

That must have been an adrenaline rush for you only standing up paddling and all calm while videotaping that Great White Shark . I must say you sure are crazy and got a lot of balls. As long as you know what you are doing please do be careful next time if you do plan on making another encounter without any protection because they are very curious, unpredictable, and fearless predators. Expect the unexpected!!!

[wordreet]

WoW! Superb, and much better to remain calm and observe than to panic and try to get away.

5 stars!

[casperfromenc]

People, pick your trash up,karma comes in the form of a 7 foot great white.

(Son Onofre is about what , 20 miles pipes in cardiff?)

[SeaIsForCookie]

it must be hard to paddle with ball of STEEL...

[hongkongluna]

Hey, Chuck, come in man, the burgers are ready. Once second dude, I've got to finish filming this Volkswagen-sized shark that's swimming around my board...

[10925597]

it must be hard to surf with balls of STEEL...

[10925597]

it must be hard to kayak with balls of STEEL...

[Sevinfootongue]

Awesome & scary at the same time!

[132sasha132]

CTFxC sent me 

[Lakotahope]

Yeah, good question by mando515--have you seen the movie Jaws lately???

Clear video and the water sounds, it seems to me, made the video more sinister.

Don't get bit

[jakesylvester123]

haha curious shark

[ConorScully4]

Holy crap man haha id get out as quick as i can

[DevinWiles]

Great job!

[ashleymjfan]

i have seen jaws this is like looking at a scene in the movie

[PK2190]

The shark is camera shy :D lol good stuff dude!

[chino1922]

Crazy *ucker! Dont roll the dice two many times against Mother Nature or you will be left with out a chair when the music stops!!!!!

[thescootgang]

Idk if I'm right but if u look really closely u can see the bottom of the ocean

[anthonydjuan]

why isn't this guy dead? damn!!!!  there is NO WAY i could do this!! i'd go beyond shitting myself.

[jreyno1959]

@AtheistinFundyLand I am guessing that you just have a burr up your bum and it would just chap your ass to not be able to vent at someone !Well be my guest / What or where the hell is FundyLand?

[jreyno1959]

@AtheistinFundyLand now you call me a bigot oh no what wii I do/ maybe go hug a tree and find myself/ am I suppose to be intimidated by you saying that I might be surprised at your capabilities or willingness I scoff at you -scoff scoff- giggle! Look if I have offended I apologize REMEMBER YOU STARTED THIS -review your first comment- we can agree to disagree- you do not sleep with me nor sign my payckeck so -you win

[AtheistinFundyLand]

@jreyno1959 Not worth my time.

[Diablo3111]

Fuck that shit.

[AtheistinFundyLand]

BTW, I'm cool with what you're doing. After all, it's your life. If I had the guts and knowledge needed, I would do it, too.

[jreyno1959]

@AtheistinFundyLand first of all BITE ME now then that being said ignorance is the lack of fear of GOD being atheist is ignorant of the existance of HIM my wanting to kill a creature that he created is just human nature / your comment just exemplifies your stupidity ! Again I say BITE ME. By the way went and viewed your video it was ignorant.and.really second rate ! GOD IS GONNA GET.YOU! SO BITE ME!

[AtheistinFundyLand]

@jreyno1959 Whoops. I was talking to myself, most likely because I wanted someone intelligent to talk to. That said: Your attitude and inability to spell = one of the reasons I re-evaluated religion and found it lacking.

And watch out whom you ask to bite you. You may find I'm willing and quite able, much like the great white shark.

[AtheistinFundyLand]

@jreyno1959 I moved a gopher snake off the road today. It was pissed as hell, but even though I handled it for a good half hour, it never bit me. Why? Because I know what I'm doing. Sometimes I make mistakes with snakes. That's why I don't free handle rattlers.

For me, hanging out with a pissed-off gopher snake is much more spiritually fulfilling than the 21 years I spent as a Christian...or talking to bigots like you.

[AtheistinFundyLand]

Live life to the fullest. I've learned that if you know an animal, you can be safe. Of course, there's always a chance you might make a mistake, but I'm willing to take that risk because life would be infinitely more dull without wildlife experiences.

I don't know great whites, so I'll leave them to those who do. For those who fear them needlessly, look at the damn video. The shark lives there. People surf there. It hasn't attacked anyone because it prefers seals.

[AtheistinFundyLand]

@AtheistinFundyLand Your attitude and inability to spell = one of the reasons I re-evaluated religion and found it lacking.

[AlexPanacro]

if id seen what you saw, the sharks would have been gone in a matter of seconds from the amount of shit i would have been blasting.

[jreyno1959]

@TheCaferocker your rebuttal has no merit other than /no strike that/ no merit I said nothing to the line of we should all wrap ourselves in bubblewrap -stay in air filtrated(by the way the term is air-conditioned) houses and be fed by any kind of tubing my point is kill it before it kills you if that work truck.or the person driving it would have chewed on your arm after it hit you you would have been justified in killing one or both of them!

[snubagod]

Kudos dude... nice one!

[georgetfelescpa]

This kinda changes things. I guess I always knew they were out there, but seeing it this way gives you a different perspective. Keep surfing, just stay a little more inside.

[crazylilbuddy]

i love san onofre...sharks wont stop me from surfing there. unless they kill me of course.

[TheCaferocker]

@crazylilbuddy Hell yeah buddy I was just there last sunday waves were 5 to 6 its was sweet.

[tlh235]

Red Dragons

[jreyno1959]

@TheInflicted/ YES not just because they frighten me but that they can and will make a meal of me/ Am I right in saying a close encounter with a Great White would.be a adventure to you or maybe a lion attack would be a blast for spring break.Yes there are several species of.shark.that serve no other purpose but to frighten or severely injure or kill a human being and yes they have as a species outlived their purpose/ just like.the dinosaur

[AtheistinFundyLand]

@jreyno1959 I'd much rather have great white sharks share my world than ignorant people like you.

[nlarondelle]

You went back a second time to see a great white?!?!? Are you nuts?! Amazing footage

[jreyno1959]

man you out there on purpose for this purpose you truly deserve what may happen no offense but you have rocks in your head anyone who says that they are not mindless killing machines are just some kind of aquatic tree hugger I believe that it should be just as it was in the seventys and there should be a mass extinction program of all sharks as there are plenty of other species who would keep the oceans clean of other dead things / it does'nt take a rocket scientist to figure this out gee whiz !

[TheInflicted]

@jreyno1959 Anyone who goes into the great outdoors DESERVES to have an adventure.

So am I right in saying that you're in favor of intentionally driving species to extinction because they frighten you?

[TheCaferocker]

@jreyno1959 So according to someone like you maybe we should all wrap ourselfs in bubblewrap and stay inside our homes with an air filtration systems and get fed by tubes because all the so called scary things in the world WILL!!! kill all of us right. Sorry not me I just went surfing at this beach last sunday even after I knew about this video. And on the way home my truck was hit by a person driving a work truck so maybe we should kill anyone with a drivers license according to you right.

[poloplayertj]

This guy got his Common Sense certification degree at UC San Onofre

[OHANABANGER]

DOG PATCH!!!! ahhhh in front of SONGS

[BrandonRice]

I'm not going back into the water!

[milner3]

man they can sure turn with speed!! brave man......

[thescootgang]

How deep is that where u are

[tallgiant89]

@thescootgang No more than 10 feet deep

[cohje02]

Interesting there is a tag on this shark as well so it seems used to seeing people in the water.

[HALIBU77]

FRIDAY 13th might have been a different story

True or False

[christianS91]

I was out at san o that same day. Pretty scary to think how a shark was just around a few hundred yards away from where i was surfing

[FourKayRisten]

...& then he shit himself.

[charliescigar]

jesus freaks has left the building. thank god!!

[alwaystvxq08]

Beautiful. Sharks aren't as scary as movies make them to be. They're just curious and dare I say playful? lol

[surfthetubedude]

or not.....better keep'em fer yer crowd control.......wo'nt be paddling out to fish halibut at dogpatch anymore....that's FOR SURE

[surfthetubedude]

Quint: Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down the pond chasin' bluegills and tommycods. This shark, swallow you whole. Little shakin', little tenderizin', an' down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis.

[TanoUrzua]

Great shots.......question for you.....I have a GoPro HD also, but can't get as good quality as you and others. What do you use to edit and post, or do you post directly without editing?

Thanks.

[ltjsh]

That shark must have eaten already. Lol good for you dude. Nice shot!

[fettfan91]

nice

[snappy452]

Ho-ly Shit. Thats fuckin scary dude.

[bwanabass]

Thumbs up for balls of steel!!!

[bwanabass]

Awesome video. Thumbs up for balls of steel!!

[wildbell]

Fearless, dude. I want you on my team.

Assuming I hadn't panicked I would at least have been vocalizing repeatedly along the lines of OMFG.

Excellent catch o' the day!

[rtint30]

Hey Chuck, The morning show on 105.3 San Diego want's you to call them. They were talking about this earlier today.

And good job getting the nuclear plant in the vid. BOOBS!!

[justinbeebver]

that looks like fun. thank you bro.

[cruisersmusic]

Yeah great Video Chuck! A great white shark hanging out in local waters. I never see those around here - lucky to get this on video. Brave indeed. Was this in the winter? I would think they would avoid the warmer water in the summer and head North...

[moridin247]

Epic!

[mando515]

You haven't watched Jaws have you!?!?! Cool video man, I'd be shitting myself and not thinking about patting the water to get a good shot. I was going to snorkel with the Leopards at La Jolla Cove, but now I'm seriously reconsidering.

[AtheistinFundyLand]

@mando515 Do it. You only live once and leopard sharks are harmless. Apparently, so is the great white 99.9% of the time.

[kysfifriend]

Cute shark♥

[Connactzor]

@ele12957returns jesus and god don't excist

[danielrae03]

At least if you get eaten people will know who did it :)

[Jamzkangster]

@ele12957returns shut the fuck up.
