"You are paddleboarding next to approximately 15 great
white sharks," is not something you want to hear when you're enjoying a
day at the beach.
But that's exactly what beachgoers in California heard
broadcast from a helicopter loudspeaker as they paddleboarded in the waters off
Capistrano Beach in Orange County on Wednesday.
Lifeguards "are advising that you exit the water in a
calm manner. The sharks are as close as the surfline," Orange County
Sheriff Deputy Brian Stockbridge is heard saying on a video shot from a helicopter
overlooking the beach.
The school of sharks was spotted by Orange County Sheriff's
Duke 1 helicopter around 1:30 p.m. Jason Young, Orange County's lifeguards
chief, said they received two reports of shark sightings in the Capistrano
Beach area, the OC Register reported.
Later in the evening another group of great white sharks
were spotted more than 50 miles north of Orange County, off the coast of Long
Beach. The Long Beach Fire Department issued a shark advisory, for the area
warning all beach patrons to enter the beach "at their own risk."
