You're trying to judge the size of the dorsal fin and you can't see its base. That's the 'iceberg' problem I mentioned before. You have no idea how much more fin is underwater because its back never breaks the surface.
There were not two sharks, but you see the dorsal, and then the tail flicks above the water, and I suspect that was originally mistaken as a second dorsal fin.
I did, that's why I concur that was a huge shark.
Perhaps not a huge great white, but certainly a huge shark.
Ok, I can't (or don't know how to easily do it as I'm not going to screen capture and then host it elsewhere and then post it) do an image capture on my iPhone but look at this closeup video from the daily beast and pause it at about four seconds. You can see the shark has already started his exploratory bit about midway down the board and his tail only extends back about half again as long as the board. So to me the shark looks just a little longer than the board. I don't know how long his is but I'd guesstimate what...7 ft certainly no more than 10 as it wasn't a longboard I believe. So that would put the shark in the 8-10 MAYBE 12 ft category.
And I get what you're saying, I would leave a brown water trail if I saw even an 8 ft shark, but for a GW...it's just a little guy. I saw some CNN "expert" estimated it was 10-12 ft which is bigger than my estimate but not that far off and still likely a sexually immature shark.
Love me some Tribe but you gotta admit, that's some funny chit right there...
