IT was probably not the thrill Maximo Trinidad was seeking when he took to the Florida waters off the Jupiter coast with a paddleboard Thursday afternoon.

    The long-time surfer turned paddle boarder was in for a rude awakening when he said he spotted a spinner shark moving toward him, and in the blink of an eye everything spun out of control.

    It was all caught on a GoPro camera attached to the paddleboard.

    Trinidad was knocked right off his board as he collided with the fast-moving creature.

    “I was shocked,” his wife, Theresa, who was not there, told ABC News. “When I saw the video, I was like, ‘Holy cow!’”

    Trinidad said he jumped right back onto the board. He suffered no injuries.

    “It was awesome,” Trinidad laughed. “I was not even scared.”

    The spinner shark is known to “spin around several times before dropping back into the sea,” according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

    That’s something Trinidad said he has seen over and over again, but he has never had an encounter like the one captured on camera.

    The commission also reports that Florida’s diverse shark population does not “see humans as a food source. Experts believe that most shark attacks are cases of mistaken identity, which explains why nearly all shark attacks that occur in Florida waters are of a bite-and-release nature.”(SD-Agencies)
