A Texas girl bravely shrugged off her close encounter with an alligator while wakeboarding in the Lone Star State.
Clair Hurta, 12, was floating in the water of the Colorado River while waiting to get back on her board when an alligator popped its head out yards away from her.
The young girl was seen laughing just moments before her mom noticed the animal languidly perusing the waters on the sunny day.
The Pure Wakesurf-sponsored surfer didn't fret, though, as she calmly turned back around, a TikTok video showed.
'After we saw the gator we left that area and surfed in another area of the river,' her mother, Crystal Hurta, told Daily Mail.
