Drone Vision Shows Large Shark Approach Surfer At Maroubra Beach
A drone operated by Carved Banks captured the roughly two-metre long shark gradually drawing closer to the surfer just metres from the shore at Maroubra Beach in Sydney's eastern suburbs last weekend.
At one point the shark swam to within about 20m of the surfer as he tried to catch a wave.
Luckily for the surfer, the shark then did an about-turn and started heading away from the shore. The breed is uncertain but the shark's wide pectoral fins suggest it is either a great white or a bull shark. The near-miss follows a spearfisher filming his encounter with a two-and-a-half metre great white shark off Manly Beach on the city's northern beaches.
Jason Harris was in the surf with a mate when the shark glided past just metres in front of him followed by several kingfish.
'F***ing great white bro,' Mr Harris calls to his fellow spearfisher in the footage after immediately heading to the surface.
There were eight shark attack fatalities in Australia last year, making the country the deadliest in the world in that category.
Three fatal bites were in the US and one was in the Caribbean, according to the University of Florida's International Shark Attack File.
