SHARK WEEK: Blacktip shark snapped in photo of surfer off New Smyrna Beach, Florida

with one comment

Some folks are questioning the famed images of the a shark leaping behind two surfers. Kem McNair, the surfer who took the photograph says the images are real. Furthermore, people familiar with New Smyrna Beach confirm the behavior of these sharks, since they are commonly seen leaping out of the ocean. From the Times Online:

Kem McNair, who had finished surfing at New Smyrna Beach, Florida, before taking three images of the shark, shot in under a second, said: “I saw something in the background and I thought, ‘What was that?’. I looked back at the display on my camera and there it was — a spinner shark.”
