A young surfer had a close encounter with a shark on a Florida beach caught on camera.
Chandler Moore, 7, was surfing with his father, Shaun, off New Smyrna Beach in Volusia County, with a GoPro camera attached to his surf board.
Footage his father uploaded to social media shows Chandler riding a wave. Moore's father told Reuters that his son said "something like a fish" jumped out of the water and scared him.
A freeze-frame of the moment the boy falls shows that the animal is clearly a small shark.

Moore confirmed that his son was not harmed during the incident.
Volusia County was dubbed “the shark bite capital of the world” by the University of Florida’s International Shark Attack File (ISAF).
National Geographic cited estimates that anyone who has swam off New Smyrna Beach has been within 10 feet of a shark.
