10-Year-Old Catches a Wave with an Eight-Foot Shark in Australia

    A shark photo-bombs a surfer in a jaw-dropping photo.

    FOX’s Krystin Goodwin has the details:

    A young surfer in Australia unknowingly shared a wave with a shark and his father caught the close encounter on camera.

    Chris Hasson was taking photos of his 10-year-old son Eden surfing at Samurai Beach in south Australia. He thought he saw a dark shadow in the waves.

    After checking the picture he took, sure enough, below the surface of the water where his son was surfing was a shark!

    (Chris Hasson) “I quickly pulled him in and called shark to the other four boys out there. And we had a look on the beach and obviously everyone’s high-fiving and going ‘wow what a photo’.”

    Experts say it looks like an 8 feet long young great white. Fortunately, his son was not hurt. The daring youngster says he wasn’t scared since he didn’t see what was lurking below:

    (Eden Hasson) “If I was on the wave and I saw it. I probably would have freaked out and fell off. I was lucky I didn’t fall off.”

    Very lucky.
