Shark swims near surfer in Cornwall
A Great White shark may have been swimming just metres from a surfer in Cornwall after an ominous dark shape was captured by a beach photographer.




The picture was taken at Praa sands, Penzance close to where there have been several reports of large killer sharks in Cornish waters.

In July last year there was an alleged sighting of a Great White, never officially recorded in British waters before, off the coast of Cornwall.
The picture of the mysterious dorsal fin taken by a local fisherman was revealed to be a hoax, but not before it created panic among bathers.

Before that in 2005 reports of possible Mako shark sightings came flooding in.

The Mako or Maori for man-eater was spotted at numerous locations around the county that summer.

The latest pictures were taken by experienced surfer, Dan Harding, who captured the ominous images while enjoying the surf and spring sunshine last weekend.

The 34-year-old from St Ives in Cornwall said the conditions at Praa Sands that day were perfect so he headed to the beach with some fellow surfers.

"There were quite a few people around about twenty to thirty. It was a really good surf. The sun was shining the waves were clean and not too crowded.

"I saw the big black shapes in the water. I managed to get three or four shots. The surfer fell off his surfboard immediately after I took the photo."

Mr Harding, a blacksmith, said the surfer may have fallen off because he was startled by the shapes.

Others have speculated the shapes might be dolphins. Dolphin appearances this early in the year are said to herald a good summer

I remember reading about that back in the summer, they were dolphins. Its super rare for a great white to get that close to shore or a mako. They both are generally deep sea fishing sharks. The only real reasons for great whites to go near beaches are when they are populated with seals. I don't think England even has seals

one of the craziest things i ever saw in a wave was on the 4wd beach in Bethany we go to, we saw an Atlantic Sunfish swim thru a wave.

I give you credit for continuing to surf there, because that place is crazy with shark attacks. About 7 years ago I was surfing at night (drunk at 2-3 AM) with a bunch of friends when something popped up about 20 feet from us. We originally thought it was a porpoise but decided to paddle in anyway. About 4-5 of us were paddling along when my buddy says "that's a big ass shark". It was swimming alongside of us about 10 feet away. I glanced over and the fin on this thing was enormous. It's amazing how quick you sober up once your adrenaline gets going. I'm remember looking over when we were in about 4-5 feet of water and it was gone.

Has this crazy-ass motorcycle jump been posted already?  If not, it's nuts.  If so, it's still nuts.  Definitely worth the watch.
