Great White Shark Menaces Kayakers!

Down in New Zealand kayakers were being fished by great white sharks, instead of the other way around. Scary!

Sweet.

And none of the yakers were popping off pictures....

  Wow, I almost crapped my pants!

  according to this guy you should pet them on the nose and then ask them for a ride!

Wonder if he rides the same shark everytime??? 

If I never see one of those it will be too soon.
I am not buying into the shark surfing tho.

Freaky.

its giving me a flashback...

I guess he must have paid his rent to ride/surf that one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At least you stayed in the boat..

Yep. During my "viewing", falling out of the yak was my #1 thing not to do

Where does one start?

1) Australia, not NZ. Notice the Sydney bridge in the background of the newscaster.
2) That shark still had milk on it's lips (figuratively speaking)
3) Maybe I'm way out on a limb here, but I'd think the first thing you do when a curious GWS is swimming around your kayak, is stay in the effin' boat.
4) Menaces? Hunts? Terror?

Slow news day, what ?

There is definitely a remarkable growth in the number of kayak anglers around the world. When I was in Hawaii last month, it was amazing how many kayak anglers were on the water compared to 5 years ago. Unfortunately, it is only a matter of time before someone get bit. Looks like one of the yakers was in a red kayak. Hopefully this didn't give Dan or Sean PTSD. 

3) Maybe I'm way out on a limb here, but I'd think the first thing you do when a curious GWS is swimming around your kayak, is stay in the effin' boat.

This is also my policy.

Hopefully this didn't give Dan or Sean PTSD. 

nah, I will fish the super secret spot again. Just maybe not up into the middle of October
funny, at lunch today a woman next to me was talking about this video & acted all "in the know" when she mentioned a story about a guy up north of santa cruz who had "the back of his boat bitten off" a few years ago.  Just funny how stories get "adapted" for dramatic effect.
I just nodded & said "yeah, I was there".
