Great White Sharks often mistake surfers for seals, their primary prey, due to the silhouette created when a person is on a board in the water. The contrast between the dark board and the lighter water can resemble a seal's shape and movement. Additionally, the splashing and paddling actions of surfers may further attract their attention, leading to accidental bites rather than intentional attacks.
