Great white shark gracefully photobombs 10-year-old's surfing pic
Looks like Eden is going to need a bigger surf board.
The 10-year-old surfer was out on the waves near Australia's Port Stephens when he almost collided with what seems to be a great white shark.
The most terrifying part? He didn't even realise how close he'd come to bumping into the predator till after he had reached the shore.
Eden's dad, Chris Hasson, was snapping pictures of his son when he captured the image of the shark gliding about a metre from Eden's board.
"Just as [Eden was] taking off I [saw] something out of the corner of my eye," Chris wrote on Facebook.
"I kept shooting and after he finishes and starts paddling out I zoom in on the second photo and see he's just done a backhand snap on an 8 foot Great White Sharks [sic] head."
After realising just how close his brush with the shark truly was, the charmed young surfer proved remarkably blase about the whole thing.
“I was lucky I didn’t fall off,” he deadpanned to Associated Press.
Yeah, lucky is one word for it. That's one hell of a photobomb, buddy.
