Great white sharks within feet of hydrofoilers

DANA POINT, Calif. (KABC) -- It was a close call for some hydrofoilers zooming around next to great white sharks off the coast of Dana Point.

The hydrofoilers near Capistrano Beach were within feet of lingering great whites.

A drone captured the scary encounter overhead Wednesday night. The drone operator says it took the riders nearly an hour to realize how close they were to danger.
