Surfers go head-to-head with shark at Jeffrey's Bay event
History repeats itself at this year's World Surf League.
A great white shark wanted to be a part of the action during the World Surf League quarter-final heats at Jeffery's Bay this past Wednesday.
Sharks are no strangers to this event, as a similar incident occurred during the 2015 competition.
