Great White Shark Footage From San Onofre

by The Editors on August 11, 2010

Chuck Patterson was apparently out SUPing with the Great Whites and got them on video. . .He says:

The day before I shot this video, i was SUP surfing with a couple friends and 2 sharks circled us for about 15 minutes. the next day, i decided to go back out at around the same time and take my GO PRO HD camera mounted on a 10 ft pole and do some exploring. . . Sure enough within 5 minutes a 9 ft shark came out of no where and circled twice and slapped his tail on my board before disappearing. then a minute later a 7 ft young juvenile Great White swam circles around me for 12 minutes.

Not so sure we’re itching to surf Trails anytime soon. . .

So good! Keep that footy coming and post everywhere. Maybe it will deter more crowds, a huge “maybe”…

Good sharkies, stay around those gondoliers and away from the real surfers.
