Shark bigger than man photobombs surfing event; everyone gets back in water

A jumping shark has photobombed a surfing competition off an Australian beach.

Amateur photographer Steph Bellamy captured the image of the shark with her smartphone on Sunday as she was photographing mothers and their children paddling on their surfboards off a beach in the New South Wales state town of Coffs Harbour.

Ms Bellamy, 47, said that she did not know that the splash in her viewfinder was a shark until she examined the image on her phone moments later.
