Digital Daily: Hydrofoil surfers ride over great white sharks

Updated: August 23, 2019 03:59 PM

A photographer at Capistrano State Beach in Southern California captured aerial footage of hydrofoil surfers on Wednesday.

Unknown to the surfers, they were riding just yards away from great white sharks.

One surfer rode directly over a shark, causing it to flinch.

Another fell and a shark briefly swims in his direction before the surfer gets back up. 

The photographer said saw four or five sharks in his footage.

Luckily these surfers were unharmed, and the sharks went on their way.
