A new YouTube video shows horrifying prank – a surfer is pushed into the water directly in front of an oncoming shark.
According to the video’s up-loader, the video was shot in Ireland off the west coast beach town of Rossnowlagh.
The man’s friends cackle with laughter as he struggled to pull himself back into the boat.
Strangely, the victim of the prank seemed to think it was funny, as well.
‘He kept coming at me,’ the surfer said.
He said he punched at the shark to beat it away.
According to the video the prank wasn’t nearly as dangerous at it appeared.
The shark in question is reportedly a basking shark – a gentle plankton eater that is not dangerous to humans.
The beasts, nonetheless, can be massive – growing more than 40 feet and weighing up to 21 tons.
Rossnowlagh is known for having particularly good surfing, with waves that can reach up to 20 feet in winter.
