While the man appeared to enjoy the experience, the animal struggled after being pulled out from the water.
A local later dragged the shark back into the water.
The incident was filmed by a local journalist.
This comes a week after a baby dolphin died on an Argentine beach.
It was lifted out of the surf and passed around as locals touched it and took selfies.
