The Daily Breeze recently looked at research conducted by the Monterey Bay Aquarium revealing that white sharks are migrating down the coast, and in some cases, right through Santa Monica Bay.
And it was only a few days ago that two local 12-year-olds allegedly saw a six foot Tiger Shark while spearfishing off RAT beach near Malaga Cove.
And now, this:
Orange County-based stand up paddle boarder Chuck Patterson recently recorded some unreal footage: two Great White Sharks cruising underwater several hundred yards off San Onofre State Beach, about 45 miles down the coast.
Patterson noticed the sharks the day before while on his SUP several hundreds yards off the coast. He returned with an HD camera mounted on a 10 foot pole. Within five minutes a massive shark appeared, circled his SUP twice and swam away.
Clark estimated one of the sharks at around 9 feet.
"It was an unreal experience that I will cherish forever," Patterson wrote on his blog, where the video has been posted.
The area off San Onofre has historically been known to attract the endangered species.
