Photo of Shark at Ocean Beach
Here’s a photo from a couple days ago of a surfer blasting the top of a wave at glassy, beautiful Ocean Beach, San Francisco… oh wait, there’s a fin in the background?!
Ocean Beach, San Francisco is in the Red Triangle, or in case you haven’t heard is one of the sharkiest places in the world. There have been a slew of recent great white sightings at Ocean Beach and Stinson Beach, further north in Marin. Stinson Beach was closed over Labor Day Weekend because of shark sightings.

do we know for sure this wasn’t photoshopped?
holy crap!
we don’t know for sure that it’s not photoshopped, probably would require a digital photo expert to determine it. it completely believable considering the number of sightings up in san francisco and marin county in the last month. i surfed ocean beach for five years and there were at least a couple sharks sightings a year.
It seems odd that the surfer is not the center of the photo and luck that the shark just made it in the shot…the sharks are always out there crusing just outside the line up but rarely at the surface like that so close…looks fake to me
