While there's no hyped music or production value to this clip, the awesome lies in this guy keeping his cool paddling with a beast!

Before you ask, yes... This happened down under. Apparently, in Australia, they teach their youth about sharks the same we learn about bears.

ie - Never turn your back... don't panic... don't start running... etc...

They advise that, like most animals, sharks are more curious than anything else. They want to know what kind of animal you are. It's unfortunate that in finding our we're aren't food, we typically sustain devastating injuries.

Big props to this dude for calmly paddling back to shore, and doing so with his GoPro.
