I'd be absolutely shocked if it were the same shark. Sharks don't behave in a "jaws-like" mentality, and there are literally thousands of them. Some days, surfing at jetty east in Destin, it's nothing to see 20-30 bulls cruising the channel.
I've also surfed in the outer banks (NC), and seen several in one morning.
I'm no shark expert, but I've shared the water with the damn things for years and never had any issues with them whatsoever...and I've been feet away from some really good sized sharks. Chances are much higher that the water was just really dirty and the tide was moving good.

In my experience, where there is one shark.... there are more.
Very accurate, and truthfully an understatement...on the gulf especially. Where there is one, there are many.
eta: hope those kids make it out okay.

Yep. Seen a ton over the years surfing. Had a little spinner swim right under me last week. They mostly have zero interest in humans thankfully. Just don't find yourself in the middle of a bait pod and you'll be good.
Don't be like those dumb arse tourists at the beach the other day that wanted to go play with the swarm of birds out in the water. I had to politely explain that where there's a lot of birds, there's a lot of fish, and where there's a lot of fish there's sharks.
