I used to surf for years, and I dive and snorkel. That's definitely a dolphin....if you look the flukes they are horizontal, not vertical (the dorsal fin shows that you are looking at it from a high angle), and the dorsal fin is curved on the back edge....shark's are straight.
Although I remember one time in San Diego when I had just wiped out, and a fin was coming at me.....I freaked out until it got within 7 or 8 feet of me and then poked his head out of the water and it was a dolphin.....What a relief!
But since then I have snorkeled and dived with sharks and dolphins quite a bit, and the sharks really aren't a big deal.
