Mobbed by Sharks while SUP surfing

Описание к видео Mobbed by Sharks while SUP surfing

Tiny clean waves were made more entertaining by a LOT of Black Tip sharks.
There are always sharks at this break, but normally they pay no attention to the surfers at all.... and I only see a few on any given day.
Today was unusual, with so many... plus I had one circling and following me, even as I took off on waves. Not sure if he was a Black Tip, so I kept an eye on him.
Black Tips are responsible for about 16% of all shark bites in Florida.
They can be nasty bites, but not life threatening.
Studying the Black Tips I see regularly in Florida, helped me understand shark behavior a bit more than what you hear in typical media hype. They almost never show any interest in humans in the water.
As a result, I feel more comfortable surfing my home breaks on Cape Cod which has a stupid amount of Great Whites, where they hunt seals right in the surf zone.
Don't get me wrong.... Great Whites are deadly as Hell, but I don't see them as hunting me anymore.... so sessions are a tad more relaxing now.
The Black Tip sharks are really fun to watch in clear, shallow water.... they were a lot more interesting than the surf.
