Drone captures incredible footage of a surfer inches from being taken out by a shark

Just out for a leisurely paddle ride when up pops a shark and NOPE.

In all seriousness though, if he clipped that shark with his fins he’d be sent hurling off his board into the water, defenseless towards shark attack. Meanwhile, the shark would have just had been clipped at high speed by sharp fins on a board and would have been out of there so damn fast we’d have wondered if it was ever really there at all.

This is truly an incredible shot though, and after seeing this video I say hell yes for drones. We need more aerial videos of sharks nearly getting hit by surfers to keep new surfers out of the water, there’s already enough congestion amongst surfers as it is.
