Upon revisiting the video, her mother saw that her daughter was telling the truth. On replay, a small shark fin pokes out of the water for a few seconds before it disappears under a breaking wave.

Sara runs out of the water in disbelief. Fortunately, the shark that was apparently stalking her was rather small, perhaps just a few feet long. The small dorsal fin and the very shallow water wouldn’t allow a full-sized great white shark or another large shark to swim in the area. She probably encountered a young shark.
