An incident in
Florida's New Smyrna Beach
You're a surfer riding some Smyrna waves whats the worse that could happen? Umm I dunno, a 1.2 metre long shark leaps over your head! ..btw..so many hits, but the shark looked like a salmon...overhype
The sea creature in the video is actually spinner shark, and such behaviour is perfectly normal and completely harmless – to humans anyway.
The Florida Museum of Natural History explained: ‘They swim swiftly up in a vertical position to swallow their prey while they spin. Often their momentum causes them to exit the water.’
Spinner sharks, highly valued by fisheries, are on the threatened species list.
