Paddleboarders spotted a huge '10 metre' shark cruising just metres off the British coastline.

Carla Smith, 20, spotted the basking shark around 35 metres off Lendalfoot Beach, in Girvan, Scotland.

Carla and Andy, from Troon, took to the water on their paddleboards and accidentally crossed paths with the shark, remaining still as it drifted by calmly.
