dailystar.co.ukshark that was "out for a kill". Vaughan "Willow" Wilson was surfing with his friend and his friend's 14-year-old son, all three experienced surfers, off the coast of Matakana Island when he witnessed his friend's son narrowly avoid death.
Willow told New Zealand website Stuff: "It was ferocious, jaws wide open, definitely in hunting mode,” says Vaughan Wilson, 52, known on the local surf scene as Willow.“It was a 3.5m monster, out for a kill.
It launched itself out of the water until its whole body was fully airborne, about half a metre above the ocean, like it was flying.“I screamed ‘shark, shark’, at the top of my lungs but the waves were so high and there was so much white water around, no one could hear me even though I’m known for being pretty bloody loud.“It was both frightening and stunning - flying through the air bathed in sunlight.
I knew it was a great white straight away from its white belly and the huge size and shape of its pectoral fins and tail. I know sharks well.”Want all the latest shocking news and views from all over the world straight into your inbox?We've got the best royal scoops, crime dramas and breaking stories - all delivered in that Daily Star style you love.Our great newsletters will give you all you need to know, from hard news to that bit of glamour you need every day.
