When the film was developed, he nearly had a stroke, as the GF had photographed a LARGE Great White right on the tail of his board. Had he not ridden the board into very shallow water, he likely would have been taken off the board.

Locally spotter pilot Wayne Davis has all kinds of aerial shots of clueless paddleboarders, wind surfers and surfboarders very close to white sharks.

You are not going to see the sharks when you are at water level. -Tom

VERY TRUE. - This particular GW was evidently in “hot pursuit” of lunch, as she followed him into not much more than ankle-deep water.
(She was estimated to be at least 13-14 feet, compared to the long board.)

Gerald “Slick” Wilkins evidently saw (what was VERY LIKELY) that same HUGE Hammerhead this afternoon just before dark, about 250-300M off Port A. = He said that she, “- - - - - was so big & wide that it looked like a passing submarine.”

I suspect that we don’t have TWO Hammers that big near Port Aransas.
(WISHING I could see her & get a long-lasting, tracking & recording tag onto her, too.)
