In 2023 Brett Burcher had a very lucky escape when a massive Great White shark stalked and then charged him while surfing his home beach. The entire encounter was caught on drone and is so off chops it's hard to believe he didn't sell it to the highest bidder for a run on the nightly news. Instead, he used it as an anchor point for a new documentary and podcast series that we'll be sharing with you right here on Ain't That Swell.
