I think he needs a bigger board! (Okay, i’m trying to make a ‘Jaws’ reference here. You can let me off though, right?)
Footage has surfaced of Kelly Slater surfing with a new friend… Nothing other than a great white shark!Filming near Margaret River in Australia, it was reported that the 11 times world champion has been dicing with death during his latest ride. However, Slater himself was quick to dismiss this as a reflection of another surfer, “It was clearly the guy paddling over the wave and, you know, when the face of the wave bends, it bends the light. It bends what you see in the image”.
There has been similar responses to that of Kelly’s, with many claims that because the footage was filmed using a Go Pro camera it could have been easy to enhance it. Others believe that it could be just another fish, or Slater’s own reflection.
However, Margaret River is infamous for shark sightings and shark attacks. So, who knows what it was? Kelly is adamant that this footage is not of a great white: we think it certainly could be!
What do you think the mysterious shape in the footage is?
