Their was a report of a Killer whale doing exactly that to a kayaker and I believe it broke the guys back. Maybe posted three years ago.

That was a Korean based language ad for a Powerade energy drink..totally bogus. here's what Snopes had to say: http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/kayak.asp
The whale Craig posted did some REAL damage though.

Brent, are you referring to the sailboat or kayak encounter? I believe the Snopes reference was to the kayak encounter.

That said, I wonder if the insurance company will deny coverage for the broken mast, claiming act of nature.

Damn, that's an incredible shot!

Wasn't there a guy killed out of Morro Bay a few years back when a whale breached and landed on his boat?
