Real Life ‘Sharknado’ Moment Happens At Surf Competition
In 2013 one of the dumbest movies came out. ‘Sharknado’ was a made for TV science fiction/ horror/comedy/disaster flick released by Syfy. At the time I was working for another radio station in town, and the guys I was working with were all about this movie. I thought it looked so dumb! But people loved it and there ended up being five more movies made after the original. After seeing this pic, it may not be such a dumb premise after all.
A real life ‘Sharknado’ moment happened last Saturday at a surfing competition in California. According to USA Today, The San Onofre Surfing Club’s annual contest at San Onofre brought an unwelcomed guest. Jordan Anast was taking pictures of the competition and while he was photographing surfer Tyler Warren, a huge shark photobombed the shot. Even Anast himself says the shot doesn’t look real.
In the picture you see the great white shark emerge from the water into the air behind surfing competitors. Apparently the shark was after a pelican that can be seen in the far right corner of the photo. Surfers and the surfing club realize they share the water with sharks, and were not too phased by the shark’s guest appearance. The judges gave the shark all ’10’s’ for his leaping performance.
The contest continued despite the jumping shark. Crazy! The picture is definitely a one in a million shot and it’s a trip to look at!
