Moi je dis que cest vrai lol disons que ya assez de monde malade dans tete pour faire des niaiserie pareille mais bon peut etre ques cest fake ... on le sauras surment jamais :P
It's absolutely fake, duhh.. As if the word or whatever at the end of the video didn't give it away (It's a viral add), the camerawork is too stable and keeps cutting to various shots in too professional a manner to be an amateur video.
It was filmed at Daytona beach, reputed for its shark activity. Anyway does a tripod is so expensive to buy? Maybe he did it before but this time, it was filmed...
not the way the camera is moving, a tripod would only allow a camera to "look" left/right/up/down from a fixed point, this moves side to side (like strafing), but it's still extremely steady, like someone using a steadycam system.. and those are far from cheap.
Also, there's a wake inFRONT of the 'shark', and it's WAY too large for just a fin sticking out of the water, the whole shark would have to be gliding on the surface..
And what about the people like 5 feet away just looking at the surfer? If you see a shark in the water, you GTFO ASAP, not sit there calmly watching.. Especially considering it's got a mouth full of bloody meat; it's hungry, it's been teased with some food, and it's more than likely looking for more!
