Orca pattern on kayak to deter sharks

A pod of orcas killed a blue whale 3 times larger than them. Wow

But what caught my attention in the article is that there has been reports from California that great whites are nowhere to be seen where orcas have been spotted. I always wondered if I should paint a black orca pattern on the button on my Hull. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Apparently orcas are fond of GWS livers...

FisHunter had stripes painted on the bottom of his boat when he got taxed, I don’t think anything short of a Shark Shield is gonna work.

Yes, it's always a bad idea to dangle when there are toothy animals around...

Thanks guys. You saved me a paint job
