Bean Hollow Rent Due

Anyone know the details on the 19 yo who nearly got clipped at Bean this week?  News is reporting a ballistic GWS missile knocking him from the boat, then he michael phelps it 500 yrds to shore.  Stud moves

Prayers for our brother yakangler, glad he made it

 

Glad he made it back safely and I hope they find his yak!  That said, why do they have to publish this in the news where my wife will read this!!!???

My wife might be happy if I started paddling the sharky zones again

Win-win for her, lots of fresh fish or one less og to feed

Was there Sunday on the beach, still felt sharky even on the shore....

wonder if his kayak was yum yum yellow or if there was a shark-shield on board

Was there Sunday on the beach, still felt sharky even on the shore....

does it ever not? LOL

glad the guy made it without physical injury.
If it were me though I'd have some serious PTSD from that swim. I can only imagine what was going through his head, yikes.
What I'm wondering is where was his buddy?

that dude is either never swimming in the ocean again, or has a wheelbarrow to carry those nuts around

Would love to know what he was wearing, whether he had a radio and why he didn't self-rescue instead of the death swim...

Haha!  Touch'e!

Oh yeah.     I cannot imagine.  500 yards... 5 football fields... in a panic (Im assuming b/c no self rescue attempt)... just waiting for the same Polaris missle strike to the torso that just happened to your yak!

The Mercury News reported that the shark laid its jaws into the middle of a kayak, and a 19-year-old man, who had been fishing from inside the boat, fell into the water. The man then safely swam about 500 feet to shore.

Sounds similar to this encounter a few years back: http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php?topic=34623.60

Ah... not as scary... still pretty scary.

Crazy, was there just last saturday... seals in the water didn't seem too concerned.

The sheriff’s office said this is the first shark encounter reported in this area since the start of the year.

Is that supposed to be reassuring?
