The Last Shark (1981)

aka Great White

When a wind surfer disappears and his board is found bitten in half, a writer and a boat captain realize that there is a killer shark in the area. They ask the mayor to close the beaches, but there's a wind surfing regatta coming up. So safety be damned! This town needs tourism and that regatta is going to bring in a ton of money.  Needless to say, when the brightly colored sails are all over the harbor, carnage ensues.

This is a Jaws rip off. From the mayor who won't listen about the danger in the water, to the boat captain just like Quint, or the protagonists children being in the water when the shark makes his appearance. It's all right out of Jaws, but nowhere as good.
