White sharks continue to appear surprisingly close to shore here in Southern California.

In this episode, I follow several different great white sharks cruising just behind the waves near surfers, swimmers, and kayakers in crystal clear water. One shark in particular stood out immediately because of the bright white scars across its face and gills, likely left behind from encounters with seals or sea lions offshore.

Using both drone and underwater footage, this video documents how white sharks move through crowded stretches of coastline, often without causing any reaction at all from the people nearby.

A group of kayakers became more focused on the drone flying overhead than the sharks moving quietly beneath the surface beside them, creating one of the strangest encounters I’ve filmed all year.
