A great white shark shocked two Massachusetts paddleboarders as it swam just feet away from the two friends enjoying their Fourth of July evening on the water. College students Margaret Bowles and Maddie Cronin were paddling in the waters off Woods Hole on the southwest end of Cape Cod when they saw the predator’s estimated 8-inch fin.

The sighting by the two paddle boarders was the first confirmed sighting of a great white shark off Woods Hole in over two decades.

Two teens were taking a photo while paddleboarding off the Cape. They didn't realize a shark entered the picture.
