SAN CLEMENTE (CBS 8) — Surfers got a surprise when a shark jumped out of the water near San Clemente.

Surfline.com captured the footage of the shark breaching off Lower Trestles.

It's not known why sharks sometimes behave this way -- and it's rare to get it on camera.

One theory is that they could be trying to shake itchy parasites out of their skin.
