A GSW is a magnificent animal and as you can see from this video also can be very docile and curious. How many people wear bite by domestic dogs last year? These sharks really aren't interested in eatung humans, it's only when we present ourselves as one of their natural prey that they react
After watching the first 10 seconds, I scrolled down to try to find comments like "I want the last minute of my life back" - After seeing the entire video, I am saying "Oh FU@% THAT!"
Chuck Patterson knew...I was at San-O that day when he set out on his paddle board to film them. Since then I've had a hard time getting my butt in the water!
He's on a long board standing up and paddling...read the description box, folks. People do that all the time at the beach here in FL. Not that it makes it any more safe....he's got guts for sure.
@draggon2100 Wrong.. he knew they were there, he was out paddle surfing when he and others spotted the sharks. He went home, got his camera, attached it to the end of his paddle, then went out intentionally to get this footage. P.S. It's "board" not "bored".
it does sound like there are other people there though, maybe on a boat, this guys is on a SUP board. and yes it is dangerous and not something that should be attempoted, but the shark didnt attack because this guy did pose any threat to the shark therefore remaining just observant
its observing him to figure out what the hell he is, but... it isn't interested. You know, come to think of it... there have been whites that have taken chunks out of boats. This guy could had been killed within less of a minute of it was interested. Stupid I am sorry...
this guy is not scared because he knows that if he doesnt provoke the shark, he probably wont get attacked. the shark is just curious as to what is in the water. sharks are not man eaters, they hate the taste of humans, occasionally theyll bite but its just out of curiosity. i surf every morning and am not afraid of sharks. this guy does have balls the size of coconuts, but he did this safely and smartly.
Either you are the bravest man alive, possessing some intimate knowledge of these dangerous creatures the rest of us are blind too, or you are the luckiest and most foolish guy alive. Amazing and scary.
I'm surprised Chuck is the only one to get footage of these sharks. Evidently they've been out there for years. Considering all the fuckers who are out surfing old mans everyday it's pretty amazing there hasn't been an attack.
@ChickaRenats Because the sharks didn't attack, the just swam around the boat checking it out, and sharks don't like the taste human blood or human flesh.
@vinceschannel Mate he ain't in the safety of a boat that's a god damn 1 man canoe. Sharks mistake them for the bellies of seals so this guy is rock solid
@ChickaRenats You can die from toasters than you can from sharks. They wont attack unless provoked. Yeah they're scary but If you know sharks they wont really harm you.
Yeah, if you aren't a leftover, or a seal, they pretty much leave you alone.
I've come nose to nose with blue sharks, and they just look you over and split.
If you harass them, they can bite out of revenge, but usually just split.
Same with hammerheads, they just cruse looking for what they like to eat, and humans aren't that good, that's why you see bites, and not consumption. If you look like a seal, be ready to get bit tho. Keep ankles crossed when surfin. Worx.
@smach10 When you are laying on your board, your silhouette looks like a seal, the favorite munchies for sharks. With your ankles crossed, they don't see what looks like back feet, so they will not take a taste test on ya.
@psukimmek I work in the Education Department @ the Aquarium of the Pacific. There are two excepted theories behind that.
1) Sharks absolutely avoid Dolphins and other Pinnipeds because they have been known to hostile toward sharks.
2) Sharks will sometimes be not far behind Dolphins to pick up any leftovers they leave behind.
In my opinion, the best time to be in the water is when you see a dolphin. I have trouble believing that a dolphin can leave a "mess" when eating a 7 inch sardine. But
@flotch93 ..tell that to the lads that were taken at the same time by 2 whites a few years ago near adelaide, sa....and the families of the people whove been taken just about every year off the same coast... no seals anywhere near the place.
@rcaddict72 Yeah, no food makes a shark extra hungry, and a surfer in a black wet suit looks mighty tasty. They don't particularly like human, but when you got the hungries....
I just cancelled my snorkling trip to La Jolla. i love sharks, but they scare the hell outta me!! After watching Shark Week all week and now this? HELL NO!!!
FUCK THAT NOISE. I almost shit my pants watching this stupid video on youtube...I can't imagine being in the water with them...especially 2 of them...especially sooo close.
Last time I surfed at San O, we saw a pod of 5 dolphins just as close. All we saw at first were fins, so we pulled our legs up and kneeled on our boards. Later though they stuck their heads up and we could see they were just dolphins. We still kept out legs up though, case where theres prey, there's predators... that and they've still got teeth lol...freaked us out. This surfer's got some cahone's.
I'm no scientist, and I might be wrong, but I was once told that sharks and dolphins avoid each other. So, if you have dolphins in the water, you won't likely have sharks. (I could be wrong though... I'd look it up.)
