Orlando Sentinel photographer Jacob Langston was out in the waters of New Smyrna Beach, Florida, making a video of a surfer when another surfer exclaimed, "Dude! Did you see that?!"

Langston's focus was on his subject in the foreground of his camera -- so he didn't initially see the four-foot spinner shark jumping over another surfer in the water...

Wow, what sight! However, I don't know anything about Spinner sharks but would have been out of the water in a heartbeat. When I was in middle school, I witnessed a Mako attack of a fellow surfer when we were out in the water. She lost her lower leg; I was 15 feet from her, which about as big as the shark was, estimated 10 feet. I have feared and admired sharks ever since, keeping a respectable distance; it's their territory, we're visitors.

Wow that's creepy, especially seeing all those swimmers in the water. Thanks for sharing madisgram.
