Earlier in the week, a drone video shot by 14-year-old Zach Berman, showing a great white shark swimming between kayakers and surfers in Plettenberg Bay, made waves around the world.

Your man Zach even cracked CNN, and his video was covered on a live BBC News segment.

His initial video was uploaded to his Instagram account, @crazy__nature2.0, and at the time of writing, he has amassed in excess of 5 500 followers.

He also uploaded that video to YouTube, so let’s give that another watch:

Superb.

Now, after what Zach calls “a whirlwind of a day with interviews and all the amazing responses I’ve got from all the world”, he has managed to film a second video showing a great white shark in close proximity to surfers, less than 24 hours after the first.

He added that “NSRI was immediately notified and all surfers exited the water safely”:

YOU CAN’T SCRIPT THIS!! After what has been a whirlwind of a day with interviews and all the amazing responses I’ve got from all the world, I finally got another chance to fly my drone and can you believe it… we have yet another crazy encounter! Not even 24hrs later! NSRI was immediately notified and all surfers exited the water safely. Just another beautiful Johnny passing by and I am very fortunate to have gotten the shot. #drone #surf #shark #nsri

The video was also uploaded to his YouTube account:

Great work, young man – keep it up.

These are the types of ‘influencers’ we like to see in the wild, rather than the type that ends up on this Instagram account.

A reminder that the NSRI has appealed to “bathers, paddlers, body boarders and surfers to be cautious along the Southern Cape coastline and the Eastern Cape coastline…due to a high number of reported White shark sightings and White Shark close encounters”.
