An incredible video by award-winning photographer Jacob Langston was captured of a 4ft spinner shark jumping over the surfer.

But he was not anticipating it as his focus was actually on the foreground and he did not see the moment while he was filming.

Later back in his office while editing his video, he realised what he had captured in the background, reported the Chicago Tribune.
