Photo Fake

real....it's a dolphin...they do that kind of thing all the time...
damn it...one minute too slow...
 
i've had dolphins do that to me when i was surfing at the outer banks in nc. kinda startling at first but is pretty fun after you realize they're dolphins and not sharks.
 
From Snopes.com:

Claim: Photograph shows a surfer's close encounter with a lurking shark.

Status: False.

Origins: The photograph displayed above is indeed real, but it doesn't depict the hair-raising scene most viewers think it does.

This picture was taken by photographer Kurt Jones on 9 April 2003 at Surfrider Beach in Malibu, one of California's premier surfing beaches. But as the version of the photograph posted on the web indicates, however, the ominous-looking finned creature lurking just beneath the surface of the waves is a dolphin (possibly a bottlenose), not a shark.

A subsequent photograph of the animal taken later in the day demonstrates conclusively that it was in fact a dolphin.

Yeah, they're great! It's amazing how friendly and intelligent these things are. I had them lifting up my board on slow waves 🙂
