Turn up wind and pull in the bar. How high can those things jump.

They can jump 5-10 feet says the footage from South Africa :)

I have my doubts about the authenticity of the shark photo, but that's scary if it's real!!

a predator that slow i would eat.

cats like that,,, don't get that big by missing prey after swimming like missile.

if i KNEW to jump, i would run down wind and just jump til i felt ......less like prey,

I do illustration and photo retouching and it was very evident that it's pasted in. an okay job but even at a quick glance i can see all the work on it and some not blended very well.

Yay photoshop lmao!!

Dead give away on the nose! Shark is too small, and the angle looks off...... They also dont chase prey like that.... They may scope ya out just below the surface, but if a great white was attacking you like that.... It would have better aim!

Lol at the shark nose tho...:lol:

Im gonna ps a shark on my field just so I can look like a badass too!!

All the sharks in nebraska have "frickin lasers on their fricken heads" so i'll be a little more badass

I kite with the dolphins regularly. We've got tons of dolphins here. Usually the dolphins are outside where the waves are just starting to break. If there's a big set you can just about guarantee a dolphin will be riding it. It happens so often I have to be careful, one time I accidentally interrupted a pair while they were mating (x-rated!) and another time I accidentally got a bit too close to a youngster dolphin while he was swimming with Mom and Dad. Both times I got out of their way as soon as I realized they were there. Without a doubt, they are my favorite animals on the planet.

Sharks are another matter. We've got tons of them here also. In fact, I've seen more sharks in a month here than I did in 30 years in Hawaii and California. Fortunately, most of the sharks could care less about humans. I've seen spinner sharks (also called black tip sharks) jump 5 - 10 feet in the air. Saw one literally jump over a buddy while he was riding a wave.

I have kayak surfed with sea lions off Vancouver Island. They will surf beside you inside the wave.

I watched a video about sealions, And the great whites were attacking them. They came striaght up from bellow and hit hard.
