Shark Week doesn't even start until the end of the month, but some seaborne predators just couldn't wait. Photographer Kem McNair, snapping some surfers got more than he bargained for as a shark breached the water behind some of his subjects.

CNN's John Zarrella reports on a photographer snapping surfer pictures who captured a shark jumping behind them.
Breaching (i.e. "huge sharks flying out of the water to eat something") is normally documented in much deeper water, such as South Africa's False Bay.
