On Mon., Nov.2, 2009 at approximately 10am I saw a thresher shark approximately 7 feet long overall, jump, flip and spin about 6 times in a row. It got about 3 feet in the air, enough for its whole body to clear the water as it performed its awesome gymnastics. It was not as graceful as a spinner dolphin but certainly spectacular. This took place about 1 mile from shore off the coast of Huntington Beach, CA, on a sunny day with very little wind and nothing else going on nearby. I was delivering a catamaran from Long Beach to San Diego and travelling under power. At one point, the shark was about 20 feet from our bow then stopped jumping as we went by.
