Nah, it's just a boat or jet ski. Check out the wake about half way through.

Fun to watch though.

Awesome video.

The giveaway for me was when he rides by other surfers who clearly don't give a xxxxx and definitely do not look alarmed. If a great white of that size was swimming past you, I think you'd care a bit more than that...

but then.. . the guy is recording from the pier and then somehow he gets down to the beach to record the guy riding.. .then somehow when the guy turns with the camera there is no pier to the right or left of him? o_0 and you can tell he was on the pier because when he turned his camera down you can see the boardwalk thing... i duno just a guess

I dont know too much about sharks, but i'm pretty sure it wouldnt stay at the top of the water the entire time so it's fin is poking out. Not very realistic, cool for a fake video thouh I sapose.

I like the way they didn't even bother to let out enough line behind the tow boat to disguise the prop wash!
