Kelly Slater Photobombed By Shark – See The Video!

The world’s top-ranked surfers are in Western Australia participating in the Margaret River Pro. 

Sharks a hot topic in the region because of a fairly recent spate of fatal attacks on surfers and swimmers, which led to a controversial government-sponsored ongoing shark cull. 

So it’s understandable that when an odd-shaped object appeared in the face of a wave videotaped with a GoPro camera worn by Kelly Slater, some wondered whether the 11-time world champ had been photobombed by an apex predator.
 

Surfermag.com says "While there may be a perfectly reasonable explanation for the blob that appears at 0:17, the prevalence, andcontroversy, of sharks in Western Australia spreads paranoia like wildfire, prompting many to believe this is a shark photobomb of Kelly Slater’s wave at The Box. At first, we thought the surfer at 0:06 explained the blob, but upon further examination, there are no limbs or contrasting black wetsuit to what could be a white surfboard. What do you think the mysterious object in the face of the wave is?"
