I love this guy. I really appreciate Malibu Artist for his approach to filming the sharks in a way that is not invasive and for educating all of us on the behavior of sharks in a place with lots of people in the water.

“I’d be way more likely to die from the stress of life than to be eaten by a shark, and I’m willing to take that chance.”

Liked his line that it not like an aquarium, it's a shadow. I surfed south O.C. pretty much daily for two decades and never saw a shark that I know of, but I've seen a lot of big shadows in the water, kept telling myself it's a kelp patch.😅

That's the definition of a chill guy. The kind of guy you'd like to have as a friend.

Awesome video - saw a GWS about half a year back between Torrey Pines and Blacks. Told the lifeguards about it and they said that’s a juvenile they frequently see and named Fluffy

"You can't live life scared" Great words by the surfer!

Vick is Dope AF & I LOOOOOVVE just hearing his reminder that we all need to hear “You can’t live life in fear” he’s 100% right & it sent a calm all over me to hear that :) I love you guys and THANK YOU

Basically learned how to surf at this exact spot in Torrey Pines over 20 years ago. Probably have been out over 500 times in the span of a 10 year period. The guy in this video is right that it is very eerie when you’re out there alone. Always sensed that there were some big ones lurking beneath but not until the current days of drone technology is it now known for certainty. Simultaneity very cool and very chilling.

Great interview, Vic seems really humble, and down to Earth, awesome video. Keep it going !

I was snorkeling off the beach of LaJolla Shores and caught a sighting of a VERY large shark. I don't know what kind it was but it was about 30 feet away so I could only see a shadow, or profile as it were. I would have to guess it was about 14 foot. It was very calm and with a couple slow wags of its tail, it slowly went away from us. Thank you for that sharkie!!!!! LOL

grabbed at my heart strings, to witness someone making awesome of modern technology by assisting strangers & those being assisted (surfer) acknowledging & reciprocating the help ❤️❤️❤️ Far too much hate in this world,,, things like this prove we CAN live together on this planet both humans & our precious wild life ✅️

I love that you interviewed Vic. I would love to see many more reactions to viewing your videos and seeing how close the sharks are. Thanks for your fun videos.

My God that VW bus is soooooo sick. EDIT : Not only do you drive a sick VW, but you surfed with a great white and you're smiling. Total. Legend.

Thanks for the interview Vic! Love that fricken van man!!!!! Such a SWEET ride!!! Looking forward to the next vid with your crew.

Yesss been waiting for this interview and it didn't disappoint. Looking forward to the next episode with Vic! 😎🤙🦈💙

Thank you for showing us the side of these magnificent creatures television doesn't.

Great job Carlos on the drone footage, (and the cool interview Vic, I see you in the water every so often). I was surfing my standup in your clip this session, and as you mentioned, I totally didn’t see this guy until he was in front of me, and because I surf here every day, my head is usually on a swivel. But because it was so shallow when I hopped back on, I didn’t even think to look behind me…surprise! I then heard your drone which alerted me that a shark was probably in the area…very helpful! 🤙 I usually see sharks every few days (I saw 6 different ones in one session last week), and although I think we’ve gotten used to it, it’s still a little freaky. I will say that the benefit to all this shark activity is that it keeps the crowds away! 🤣

thank you for everything you do for shark awareness. you do a lot of good and help people be less afraid of these beautiful animals.

I just discovered your channel and am in absolute awe of the footage you capture. I've never been in the ocean except for the Gulf of Mexico but I'm in awe of Sharks. I don't want to meet one in their world but I love watching them. Thank you for sharinig your gift.

Really good that he paid attention to the drone

Great interview, Vic! Good to get a surfer’s perspective on shark encounters.

Look forward to seeing Vic and his crew surfing and you filming it. Nice video once again.

so educational once again and so cool you got to meet each other - awesome encounter and attitude all around! Plus, that Volkswagen bus is EPIC - sick whip and restored to perfection, bro!

The more sharks he sees that no one noticed or where nothing happens, proves how good your odds are enjoying the ocean.

On a couple of the cliff outlooks in the park, on a clear day you’ll see 3 to 7 GWSs patrolling just past the breakers. It’s not uncommon for them to come in shallow, take a peek around (esp at all the surfers) and then zip back out.

I love this channel. It’s easily the best, most informative, most visually pleasing and respectful channel about sharks 🦈 and how they react to us and vice versa. Thank you! 😊🇳🇿👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Dude thank you so much for doing this video. This needs 10 million views

Awesome interview/video!! Vic's van was almost as cool as getting to see sharks..almost 😂😂 Can't wait to see next video

I love your videos. It's nice finally seeing and hearing you. Keep up the wonderful work.

Surfers and swimmers that know you are in the area probably feel a bit safer having you there to warn them when a shark is close. Great idea.

When I was about 100 ft from shore SUP surfing, I saw a juvenile shark (~ 6 ft ) breach near Lajolla Shores about a month ago, it was in the middle of a group of about 6 swimmers. Two of the swimmers heard the shark hit the water, one of the swimmers saw "a dark flash of a shadow". First time I have seen a shark breach up close and in person. There were lots of small stingrays in the water, I assumed it was feeding on them.

Wow! Great video and interview! Thank you.

You're a bro Vic! Thanks for the interview!!

I love this type of content! It's unique, educational and totally rad!!!

That was cool of Vic to hang out to talk about that moment, super intense and life, like he said, also stressed out vibe? Careful Vic try to relax and calm out before you enter the water. Happy thoughts. 🙏😁😎! Thanks and then the drone action, wow. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for interviewing surfer & what is going on in his mind. Sharks are not mindless killers but a predator 🦈🦈🦈

Really enjoyed this video! Fantastic hearing the surfers experience 😁

Yes majority of the time they are just watching/stalking but don't mistake that for them being peaceful or gentle creatures. They watch for a reason and it's more than just curiosity. If these videos have taught me anything it's that they are out there watching and stalking us alot more often than I thought.

Amazing disclaimer to start it off. 40 seconds in and Vic the G pulls up in an all time G wagon...and proceeds to live up to the hype. Spectacular ending as well. Danka from OB.

To all of you who can surf fearlessly in waters such as this, you are far braver than I am. Just yesterday, I was out alone, early in the morning, sitting and waiting on my board looking out at the horizon for waves. I was having a wonderful, peaceful, truly joyous moment enjoying the sunrise, the calm glassy waves between sets, the solitude and oneness with the ocean and nature. Until, I brought my attention back to my board for a moment, where I saw a roughly 4ft long shadow in the water right in front of me. Idk how long it was there before I noticed it, but I jumped a little when I saw it, and perhaps the sudden jerky movement of my dangling feet scared it, because it immediately turned around and swam off. However, despite the small size, and knowing that there are only reef sharks at my local beaches, I still just about shit my shorts. Also, the hippy in me can't help but think, while I was enjoying the wonderful views of nature we don't always get to see, was that shark or fish not also doing/thinking the same thing as it was watching me?

Great episode!! Thanks to Vic as well!!

I was watching a show during shark week and they were saying that the white sharks have made so-cal a place where they migrate and have babies. Not uncommon for them to be there. This was a great video. See they are a bunch of monsters they just wanna see what we are and they go the other way. Love the shark awareness in this video!!! Keep up the great work!!!

Vic is my kind of people. It would be cool if you could find more people like him to interview. People that go our where you film and have long since gone through all the mental thought experiments and long ago did all the research to make themselves comfortable spending time in the water where they know there will be sharks. I surf up in SF/SC (from my VW van) and had to do the same mental exercises to come to terms with surfing in the "red triangle". I find your channel very interesting.

Cool older surfer dude with a sweet ride. Stay safe out there.

Fun video! Looking forward to watching Vic surf!

Dude that’s the Guy that owns Hungry Termite in San Diego! How cool is that!

That was a very cool interview. Your videos are awesome. I'm from FL, Clearwater Beach. The gulf is very murky and hardly ever clear. I am sure all the many times I was in the water there were some type of shark nearby! We don't have too many Great Whites in the gulf but Hammerheads are alive and well! I now live in TN where we don't have to worry about that anymore. ;)

Great video! Thank you both.

I used to go bodyboarding all the time off Coronado, not too far from this spot, when I was younger. Never gave it a second thought, honestly. I was indestructible. It’s only now, as a full grown man, that I look back and realize that I was without a doubt getting to within mere feet of a great white shark on a weekly basis. Kind of weird to think about. Couldn’t pay me to do that now. I have too much respect for giant teeth and man sized jaws.

Fantastic video and interview. keep it up as always..from lil ole me in England

loved tis video can't wait to see the one with vic and his crew

Thanks for the video! 💜

I loved the interview!

Beautiful as usual! Thanks

That van, his whole personality is so chill.

Super cool! What an awesome guy and great interview.

Two great guys I'd gladly drink a beer with! 🍺 Keep up the great work!

Thank you for what you do. Not only is it amazing to see these magnificent creatures from above, but it's incredible how you continue to educate folks that these sharks are not out to get us, they are not out there waiting to eat us us, they really don't want much of anything to do with us. So important for people to realize so that these incredible creatures can continue to thrive.

Thank you for bringing attention to these beautiful animals.

Great interview. Vic reminds me of Bodi from the original “Point Break” movie.

Love watching your videos. They are highky informative and insightful. Appreciate the amazing insights and education about such glorious creatures who scare most out of the watera of the UK, and globally for that matter. Please continue to fo what you do and educate us on the geowing patterns and behaviours of the growing ahark populations m. ❤

That was super cool footage at the end!

Awesome communication between drone driver and surfer!

Great perspective video! Awesome SoCal dudes & sharks 🤙 Anyone not in Cali, this is the type of person you're most likely to meet at the beach! It's a beautiful 🌻I Love It!

That's one beautiful bus that Vic owns! Amazing footage and interview!

Dude that van he has is bad ass and worth about 50k Those old VW vans go up every year!

Another awesome video brother

Awesome interview!! I remember when you first posted it:)

Growing up surfing in San Diego, you know they are always there. Was surfing Ponto Jetty the day the kid got hit by the big White at Beacons. And yeah, " Don't live life scared!" Sharks are amazing creatures and we are blessed to share the ocean with them.

Great video! Really interesting. Much love to the surfer. ❤

Loved this!

So cool as a X S.Cali native brings back great memories, Vic 🤙🏻 excellent brother. God bless ya both 🤝🙏

“…way more likely to die from the stress of life…” Preach.

Awesome video. If you surf Torrey/Del Mar/Solana beach often enough you will eventually have a white shark encounter. Ive had a few over the years in this area and seen a couple breaches too. Great to see the Malibu Artist in SD. Keep the great content coming.

Sweet van! Great video.

one time as I was a lifeguard in florida what appeared to be a very large great white slowly rolled up face first towards a few people swimming right in front of me the shark was huge and the water was pretty clear that he scared the crap out of me and them as i tried to reach for my whistle the people saw it and freaked out running out of the water. the shark was like swimming in slow motion not aggressive but very intimidating when you see a giant great white approaching mouth first towards you. the people never went back into the ocean that day. it was an experience thats for sure. mostly bull sharks black tips and spinners but I know great whites swim all up and down the east coast of usa

Great video!! What an awesome guy!

Drone as 🦈 alert ! Thank you for the video !

Loved this ❤

I think it’s a good sign for the GW shark population that you film so many juveniles on the Cali Coast. Good to see the regulations that protect them is paying off.

I've surfed Torrey Pines beach all my life. Such amazing footage dude!

We just lost someone in v shallow water here in south africa. Quite amazing footage and how calm that dude was.

What a cool @ss interaction.. With Victor and the sharks of Southern California We're all the better for it! 🙂

Your videos are amazing.

Awesome. People would be surprised, even shocked maybe, to know how often there are close encounter with GW's inshore like this, with absolutely nothing bad happening. I love these amazing animals, I spent 5 weeks as a volunteer crew member on a cage diving operation in SA to get up close and personal with them!

Thanks for showing us how to react when encounter with Shark. They are an amazing creature that we need to protect. 👌🏾💚

Hell ya , rad videos you’re doing . What a trip . And victors right can’t live in fear gotta do what you love , that’s what’s up

I wasn’t expecting to watch this and have less fear of sharks! Awesome!

Very cool 😎 interview 🦈

Great video. Thanks.

Beautiful! San Diego rules! Love Great Whites in there home territory ❤

that surfer is badass!

Right on bro. It’s all your old neighbor in Malibu. Looks like you’re doing well I’m stoked. Nice video

Great content. New sub. 🙌🏼

Awesome channel!

Awesome video. I have my Part 107 drone license and was wondering, out of curiosity, you got permission to fly at Torrey Pines? From my knowledge I thought it was a restricted area for drones. Did you receive LAANC approval or a waiver perchance? Hope to see more videos in the near future!

Keep posting film from Torrey Pines beach ...so cool Have you filmed from La Jolla shores? Lots of kayakers there

Amazing, do what you love. Stay safe everyone and respect nature.

Top quality content this 🙌

New to your page definitely a new fan ♥️🥰
