Shark, for sure. See the angle of its tail and the shape of its body.

Then again the position of the dorsal and pectoral fin is more like a dolphins so now I'm thinking just a dolphin about to dig a tail rail and carve the shit out of this wave...haha

Have to agree ...shark... But I think it thinks the dolphins are right the surf zone is for fun not for hunting... Humans are the last thing on this sharks mind
