On Saturday morning, about 30 people were in the water, with plenty more arriving for the day.
Paddleboarder Karl Gaensicke, who visits the beach two to three times a week, often saw juvenile sharks, wasn't put off by the sharks given most were juvenile, and said they were likely "more scared of us than we are them".
However, he believed Surf Life Savers made the right call to evacuate the water after the sightings, and said he would probably do the same if he saw a big shark.
Have you seen sharks at Orewa beach? What did you do?

If you freeze ice cream over time, it will often form large ice crystals on the surface or become rubbery. With some raw fruits such as peach, nectarine and kiwifruit, the colour will change and ice cream will not look so attractive.
