Two great white sharks caught on camera by a surfer

by brian lam

The guys at GoPro Camera sent me this video of great white sharks swimming by a stand up paddle boarder.

The dorsal fin never breaks the surface, and I wonder how easily such a creature can swim by me while in northern california’s opaque blue-green waters without me noticing. These are juvenile sharks, at 7 and 9 feet respectively. I’m sure being on a larger board helped make this guy feel more safe, but not too much more.
