A great white shark could be circling the Bay of Plenty.
Just over a week after two fisherman reported a "huge" great white near the Tauranga Harbour entrance, a surfer has said one cruised "very close by" while he was surfing with several others near Mt Maunganui.
"This shark was larger than a 12ft surfboard and had huge pectoral fins with a very large girth - and cruising water as shallow as 1.5m. Its demeanour seemed rather inquisitive and docile.
"I was left in awe at seeing such a magnificent creature so close to land and in its natural environment."

(sharks are a particular phobia of mine)
I agree with you entirely Veronica.
I am amused at the surfer's comment that 'its demeanour seemed rather inquisitive and docile' - I don't think that I would be waiting around long enough to assess its mood!
