Shark Surfer?
This would be pretty amazing if real. What we’re apparently seeing is a rather stupid surfer/amateur stunt guy “fishing” for a great white shark off his board, then being “towed” by the hooked shark passed other surfers. Do I believe it? Well, let’s just say I’m dubious. I have to ask myself, if I was a surfer and a great white shark swam right by me towing another surfer, would I just watch as these guys appear to be doing, or would I walk run on water to reach shore as quickly as possible? In addition, it looks like a wake in front of the shark as though it’s (ahem) “chasing” an RTV or jet ski. Hmmmm… And the shark appears to be swimming parallel to the shore in shallow water… and leaving a wake. Hmmmm… Now, I wasn’t there, but…

Dude! No way!
If you hadn't said anything, I would probably have thought this was real. Now I am not so sure.
Not so sure? Really?
Pretty cool spoof. I don't think the meat is even real!
All right, I am just reserving judgement.
The odds of this being real are about 1 in 1000000 for all the reasons Doug listed plus it just doesn't make common sense. Neat stunt though, you got to give them credit for that! Probably a zillion people have viewed it. Should have done it farther out where there aren't the surfers and it would look more real. Of course he might have encountered a REAL great white there. THAT would have made an even better vid!!
