Two men paddle-boarded in Southern California waters where they were surrounded by juvenile great white sharks measuring up to 7 feet in length and later posted a GoPro video of the adventure.

Courtney Hemerick, of Aliso Viejo, periodically dipped his GoPro camera into the water to film the sharks under the boards.

Hemerick was with his friend, Joseph Truckles, of San Clemente. He posted the video Sunday.

The juveniles have been feeding on stingrays off the coast for months, according to local reports.

Hemerick  shot  another video showing sharks off Sunset Beach on June 19; he added a soundtrack and posted that one to YouTube, too.
