Tales of the high seas

When I was about 15 I was around 1km off Brighton beach on a little sinker wave board heading out with the wind dying out below 15 knots, so I was dogging it with water half way to my knees then I noticed this fin come up about 20 feet away.It was about 1 meter high and just as wide and dark grey,it was heading parallel to me at what seemed like the same speed.

I kept going for about 100 meters (which seemed like an eternity) and then I decided to attempt the flare gybe of my life,I was convinced that if I didn't pull off this one gybe that I was White pointer fodder,when I flipped the sail and started heading in the fin was gone and that just left the long scary slog back to the beach.
