    Great White Shark at the Rakaia River mouth?

    Great White Shark at the Rakaia River mouth?

    About 2012 I took a trip to the Rakaia river mouth on the south side and walked out the shingle spit to the river mouth.

    The waves coming ashore were about as high as a house a vertical wall of green water before breaking on shore.

    I was looking into one of these walls of green water when I saw a massive shark much longer than my ute glide through this vertical wall of water and disappear as the wave broke on the shore.

    I was shocked that thing was massive as I stood there looking at that spot then a seal shot straight up vertical out of the water it cleared the water what appeared to be twice its length before dropping back into the water.

    I stood there for some time but did not see anything of the two again I was also the only person around on that stormy day.

    I did an internet search and I am convinced that was the first and only Great White shark I have ever seen and it was so close to shore.

    Any thoughts ?
