A surfer in Florida gets caught on camera with a 6ft Black Tip shark as he jumps out of the water. Smyrna Beach in Florida is known to the surfers as 'the sharkbite capital of the world'.

Personally I think the shark just wants to be in the photo, he did a good job of it anyway.

12 people have been bitten by sharks this year.

Mr Kem McNair the photographer said:

'These sharks are very very common in these waters but I have never captured pictures like these,'

'We see them all the time - if you ride a wave and the water is clear you may see two or three sharks in the length of one ride, and we see them jump numerous times a day.'

This guy is mad surely this water is quickly boiling?! Great pictures though. The water was so hot around his board it melted the wax and then started to burn his feet. Quite the close encounter!
