Captain Disillusion is kinda cool, but I wish he'd get to the point... it's like each video is longer than the last as he tries to turn his little internet niche into some kinda comedy show.
But yeah, you can tell that video is fake just by watching the other surfers calmly wave as the shark swims right past them. Unlikely!
Still, a funny video, even if it is a crummy commercial. :)
I showed it to my brother, a photograph journalist, and he thought it was fake, too. A shark with a fin that size would also have a visible tail fin, and there were multiple camera views that made editing very easy.
What a complete tool! Fake or not you know that sooner or later some other moron is going to try this for real. However, if we are lucky the shark will do the gene pool a big favour and leave it just that little bit cleaner...

I wish the shark had eaten him. What a dickhead, messing with creatures like that.

Honestly Maryann, I'm surprised you're not already a fan.

A crummy commercial?!
I returned to my room. Wiser.
