Description:
Chris Kelly thought it was a bit odd that a big rock began moving toward him as he surfed near the Cayucos Pier along California's Central Coast. Then he heard people on the shore began yelling -- "Shark! Shark!"
Kelly quickly began paddling to shore as shocked beachgoers watched the Great White begin to circle him.
“My biggest feeling wasn’t fear; it was confusion,” Kelley told the San Luis Obispo Tribune. “It was more like a big rock that wasn’t supposed to be moving.”
Kelly was able to safely get to shore, but the close call raised anxiety of surfers along the coast after earlier attacks in Marina near Monterey and in the waters off Humboldt County.
