No sympathy you go out in a kayak get what you are given And she did not attack the yak at all she just went past for a look she was just fast food shopping and you were too slow so you're lucky
Shark thinks the kayak is prey, and the paddles the flippers...if the guy had paddled for land shark would bite the paddles...maybe bite and shake and if the kayak is capsized now you are upside down under water with your legs stuck in the kayak..if you can roll the kayak back upright while still inside it good for you, if not now you have to exit underwater, swim to the surface, flip the kayak over, get your arms over the deck in the right spot, kick yourself up onto it keeping your center of gravity low, swing yourself so you're straddling it, inch foward till your butt is over the cockpit, sit down, then stuff your legs back in..if you do this in panic frantic mode you'll just roll/flip/capsize and back into the drink you'll go...best to stop and pray and try to jab the shark in the snout/gills/head as hard as possible if need be...at one point dude was dipping the paddles in lightly to see if the shark would show itself, he had the paddle up like a spear ready to jab
If you cant handle a shark coming to inspect you on a small kayak, then you should not be out there that deep in the first place. You are in the deep water there and that's where the big Noah's hang around. You should just continue and try stay calm, if he wants to eat you...you will have to accept that fate and reflect back on your life choices.
Yeah. That's what I thought when I rewatched that unfortunate British fella being chomped alive off the coast in Sydney. Was kind of In awe and its awesome rawness as horrific as it was. Couldn't help thinking - bro you are swimming alone in dark chop, with people fishing off the rocks, wearing a dark skin wetsuit... What could possibly go wrong? It annoyed me when people were saying it was very unlucky or he died doing what he loved!! 😆🤦 His last conscious moments were of raw terror.
Yeah after watching videos of how far out of the water these things can go all for a bite to eat I have no sympathy for idiots on kayaks in the ocean. Especially when that thing decides to get a full on charge from underneath the kayak to take it down. Stupid people.
"Emergency, emergency, emergency. I thought I'd give ocean kayaking a go but a Great White has made me realise that this kayaking thing is not really for me. You better hurry, it's an emergency cause he's hanging around me". I'm so glad I never pursued ocean kayaking! I'd poop my pants or die from a heart attack
It's all fun and games till you've got 16 ft great white sharks interested in your unstable kayak , enter they're environment deal with it when they're trying to take a bite out of you
@@Carlos-ui5dx That is a BS statistic. If you spend your life on the ocean it ups the statistics by a large margin. Yes for the average city person but not for those that live on the coast. Animal activists make up all kinds of statistics with no care about human life.
This white pointer is not attacking, only checking you out and perhaps tentatively testing what you are & your defense capability. Nerve wracking all the same. If is was an attack, it would charge you from depth directly below at considerable speed. You would not even know of it's presence until it lifted your whole kayak 10 feet or more out of the water and snapped it in two in an instant. That's how they typically take seals on the surface but a kayak is unfamiliar so it is being cautious (for a great white). Yeah, the thought of encountering them freaks me out too.
Yes, but it can also become more confident and set u for an attack. They don't always come down from the depth. They have many different tactics. They are unpredictable. Anyone saying otherwise has no clue what they are talking about. If they are hungry or a pregnant female needing food will attack just about anything for a meal. Biologists and Shark Activists will lie to protect them with no regard for human life. Sharks are predators we are made up of meat. It's that simple. After 100s of years, they know exactly what we are and that we are weak in the water, Sharks will kill and eat us. Most of the time it has nothing to do with mistaken identity like they want you to believe. Which is why I stopped supporting them and stopped research diving.
Being on a kayak in the ocean is like floating on some type of unfamiliar shark food. They at least owe the kayaker a close inspection before they can take him/her on the offer 😂
"Emergency, emergency, emergency...I've chosen to kayak in shark infested waters and I just saw one. Come save me. I have no firearm, either. Help, save me. And chop, chop. Hurry it up. Get these sharks out of my damn ocean that I'm trying to kayak in."
@BennO4 Oh, I'm sorry to burst your bubble so soon, Little buddy. But I'm a horse trainer and riding instructor of over 45 years. I have my own farm that I refurbished, and I work it in all weather, 365 days a year. So, you get your overweight ass outside and try to get even close to working 1000 lb. flight animals at the level that I do. You won't hit it in a million years. And I can shoot, too.
I was out in the Gulf of Mexico about a mile out and my kayak got bumped hard by a shark, a year later I was wade fishing at the beach and I got bumped in the back of the leg by a shark and fell down. I'm on or in the water a lot and those 2 experiences are always in the back of my mind every time I'm out, last time I went out I saw a massive shadow out of the corner of my eye a few feet from my kayak, it ended up just being a massive sea turtle but not gonna lie I felt my heart stop lol
Went snorkeling off the path in hawaii and caught a giant brown object floating in the corner of my eye towards me I froze only to see it was a giant turtle (my dad had gotten outta the water 10 minutes prior because he cut his foot on a rock)
That was boring. I saw one fin at the beginning of this video and the remaining 3 minutes was this man crying for help 🙄. Don’t waste your time watching this unless you want to be annoyed.
911/Coastguard : "Sir, try calm down & listen to me carefully, can you do that?" Kayaker : "Yes, yes, i'm listening" 911/Coastguard : "Sir, what you need to do is stop going out on the ocean in a skinny bit of plastic no wider than ya butt in which you're mere inches from the surface, have a nice day sir"
Love reading these comments! You guys can act all big and mighty, sat behind typing away at your keyboard, but in reality such things as seeing a shark just at the side of you will make you scared and make you shit your pants! also, he is being safe by radioing in asking for help. So don't write stupid comments like "what was that bullshit" that bullshit was a life or death situation for this man, the shark could of been swimming behind or underneath the kayak,waiting for him to fall out for all we know. I am not ranting, I am just writing my own thoughts (which I guess is good and bad at the same time?), like what the rest of the people on the comments have done.
Ken Coker ahh chances of kayaking and seeing a great white are low no one expects to see a great white around their kayack....your an idiot and btw that is a long stable kayack perfect for coastal areas
Been there, done that. Both times i didn't shit my pants and didn't scream for help. Just kept paddling and they went away. Sorry to tell you, this guy's a pussy. I've seen them scream for help while others kept paddling. Meh, the close encounter I had that scared me the most was with a Sei Whale and her calf when they dived and passed right below my kayak. Now that was fucking scary.
You dont go out that far in kayak and not think theres a possibility of a white shark rolling up on u. This guy is a straight pussy. Radioing it in mutliple times and saying the shark is attacking him. What a we knee. Sure its scary seeing a white in the wild but this guy is a Chihuahua
@@supamario1030 no, he wouldn't. If the shark thought it was a prey, he wouldn't wait around like an idiot. The shark is not a dog that has an instinct to chase the prey.
@@dcs4947 wow thank mr know it all.. there are videos clearly showing if you paddle away or try to hit the shark some will be angry with that and will chase you down. Cant write an opinion and state "that they all do some same behavior."
@@kap1526 well, mr.knowitall here has been in the same situation and paddled with sharks lurking out several times. The smart thing to do is to keep paddling like he's not there.
Seals dont swim around with two fish splashing about on the surface of the water in the middle of the ocean like that. They hunt deeper in the water. I didnt even need to google that. Try again.
The point being that sharks may see a surf board as a seal. Sharks also see small splashes as fish and tend to investigate. 30 years of diving in tbe atlantic, pacific, Caribbean, and the red sea has taught me this. Googke may have been useful for you.
No crap great whites surge from below when they attack which is why the seal idea would work for them. This was not a great white. So the argument is invalid.
this dude while not even actually paddling, is smacking his oar atop the water surface like, "come here, lil fishy" 🙅♀ that oar is the only thing you may have to keep some distance and you're just dangling it in the water while going no where !!!! for the shark to bump/bite explore more
Dude was scared for his life.Did you see how big it was ? Its probably a 5m+ great white. There is nothing you can do at this point. But yesche was stupid for doing it
Not sure you've ever been in a kayak in tidal waters before based on this take - if you stop paddling, you don't just stop moving - the current carries you away or you start twisting and turning and losing control. To stay upright and relatively stable you actually need to use the paddles.
Had the shark knocked him off, it wouldn't automatically mean the shark would've attacked the kayaker. Many sharks knock into things then swim away. I'd say it would've been a 50/50 chance the shark would've come in for a bite, but not necessarily to kill him. Still, I was terrified to watch the camera move from left to right. You were almost expecting the jaws to surface.
The big issue I have with this is, if that shark was truly attacking the boat he would have been in the water. That small Kayak would have been no match for a 1 ton shark. also, if he was so scared, why did he just sit there, he could have paddled to safety.
That lack of response....Boy, there can't be anything more terrifying than that.. I think I'll use a larger, more shark-resistant device like a submarine that isn't used to smuggle narcotics.
I don't think sharks find shit tasty...so if it was me in that kayak I'd be completely safe because my shit would be overflowing the sides at an alarming rate!
To sit there and cry "shark" but not do anything about it, but cry for help, which is not near, is FOOLISH. He should of paddled away from shark and helped himself. Don't go out next time!
No chance he was gonna out paddle the shark. He's at least a kilometre from shore and paddling furiously would likely only increase the chances of the shark attacking. By this stage his kayak had already been bumped. He did exactly the right thing - stay calm, keep an eye on the shark, decrease the amount of splashing and call for the nearest boat to come and assist.
Looks like the shark followed him for only a minute because I never even saw a fin after the opening moments! The shark probably figured out that he wasn't his normal prey and moved on! Now a real encounter happened to my nephew's friend who decided that he was going to Kayak while everyone else was fishing in the big boat! Not 5 minutes after getting into the Kayak and he started paddling around he was sent 6 feet into the air by a 17 or 18 foot great white off the coast of northern California! My nephew got his friend out of the water and when they looked back at the Kayak the shark was having a good ole time pushing the Kayak around and even swatted it with his tail a couple of times! After about 10 to 15 minutes the shark moved on! This happened a couple of weeks ago! They are supposed to post a video of it!!!!
Reminds me of "Central Park Karen" who called 911 and said "There's an African-American who is threatening my life!" when a birdwatcher asked her to keep her dog on the leash!
Shark was just curious that kayak is white (not a bright idea btw looks like a soft underbelly of a fish) once he found out it wasnt food he wasnt gonna eat the guy
If the shark was "attacking the kayak" you'd be dead. But i don't blame your sense of panic in such a situation. I reckon you did the right thing by staying still and not splashing too much.
There is land literally 200 meters away tops and You're just spinning around looking for him and waiting for him to flip you while crying for help.. Dude Start paddling gently and keep moving to the shore don't just sit there like a floating seagull.
To be fair, the shark never attacked his Kayak. Not much the Coast Guard can do. Just paddle to shore and stay calm. Why stop paddling? By the time the coast guard arrived you could be on dry land changing your undies.
This guy isn't too smart. He can see the shore, but instead of making a "b-line" paddling as fast as he can to get to shore, he sits there and calls for help on his radio. Maybe he figures if he runs he would be acting like prey, and that would trigger the shark to attack.
@@murfdog19doesnt matter.. you cant outrun a great white. The best Thing you can do is to stay calm and not moving.If you try to paddle away the shark might think that you are prey trying to escape.
Our back yard has a jetty right at a small lake/ pond. It is 2m deep at most and doesn’t contain anything else but minor fish, some turtles, some bevers, birds (swans and geese mostly) and perhaps a lost northern pike from the river in a rare situation. If i’ll go kayak someday, i think I’ll do it there instead.
I was at the beach today when I saw a man in the sea yelling "Help, Shark! Help!" I just laughed. I knew that shark wasn't going to help him.
Hah!
Great reason not to kayak in the ocean.
Ha!
Get out!
Thats class
Guy gets the smallest boat he can find...and then goes into the ocean, only to call for "HELP!"
Ikr

Yeah and it's in Australia
No sympathy you go out in a kayak get what you are given And she did not attack the yak at all she just went past for a look she was just fast food shopping and you were too slow so you're lucky
The only thing more scary than seeing a big spider vanish is seeing a big shark vanish while floating on a nutshell off the coast of australia
funniest thing I ever read. haha 😂 😂
Omg I was just about to say that! 😂
I would have had that kayak paddle looking like a 1000hp propeller
OMG YES!!! I kept screaming, “Paddle Man Paddle!!!”

shark will bite the paddle

The shark is probably calling his buddies like"Got a scared one here, thinking about tipping his kayak and eating him, want to join me?
Beauty of Kayak Fishing is either you catch fish or fish will catch you 🤣
time to find another sport

Not 5 minutes after getting into the Kayak and he started paddling around he was sent 6 feet into the air by a 17 or 18 foot great white off the coast of northern California! My nephew got his friend out of the water and when they looked back at the Kayak the shark was having a good ole time pushing the Kayak around and even swatted it with his tail a couple of times! After about 10 to 15 minutes the shark moved on! This happened a couple of weeks ago! They are supposed to post a video of it!!!!
Nope, try again.
The shark positioned itself underneath him, for the classic Great whites upward ambush attack..
Where can I find that video?
where is the video mate ..perhaps they are full of shit?
First thing to do is : STOP SPLASHING AROUND !!!!!
And this is why I kayak in lakes & rivers with no direct access to the sea.
Reminds me of "Central Park Karen" who called 911 and said "There's an African-American who is threatening my life!" when a birdwatcher asked her to keep her dog on the leash!
Shark was just curious that kayak is white (not a bright idea btw looks like a soft underbelly of a fish) once he found out it wasnt food he wasnt gonna eat the guy
like him calling anyone is going to help him at all lmao
Video should have been 20 seconds not 3 plus minutes long
If the shark was "attacking the kayak" you'd be dead. But i don't blame your sense of panic in such a situation. I reckon you did the right thing by staying still and not splashing too much.
Why is he still paddling 🤣🤣 no no no!
There is land literally 200 meters away tops and You're just spinning around looking for him and waiting for him to flip you while crying for help.. Dude Start paddling gently and keep moving to the shore don't just sit there like a floating seagull.
What an idiot.
Making no effort whatsoever to get out of the situation himself but expecting others to drop everything to save him.
Anyone else shit their pants when he smacks the camera at the end?
MJ 1804 hahaha yes, I was wondering if anyone else reacted the same!
First mistake you are all by yourself,always kayak open water in groups
Did he survive or Eaten by the shark any up dates on KAYAC MAN🦈
The more you fuck around, the more you're going to find out. 🦈🦈🦈
Out in the open waters with some serious sharks and this guy only realised he’s fishing in a Ski
To be fair, the shark never attacked his Kayak. Not much the Coast Guard can do. Just paddle to shore and stay calm. Why stop paddling? By the time the coast guard arrived you could be on dry land changing your undies.
If he was concerned why didn't he paddle to the land ? I do another of sea kayaking and he could have nearly been at the land in this time
Baffles me why anybody would be out that far from shore knowing fine well there are sharks in the water.
Emergency, emergency, emergency! I’ve spotted a shark in the ocean! Humans are the silliest of all the species.
The shark is thinking to itself, what a Karen lol
Just sitting there waiting seems like a very poor idea indeed
I don't know why he stopped and went in circles....I would have kept going to shore ? Bugger sitting there like the perfect target from below.
Could have cut the video after the first 30 seconds.
This guy isn't too smart. He can see the shore, but instead of making a "b-line" paddling as fast as he can to get to shore, he sits there and calls for help on his radio. Maybe he figures if he runs he would be acting like prey, and that would trigger the shark to attack.
Weird question, but why not just start paddling to shore?
Sharks act similar to dogs if you run, they become aggressive and chase you.
@@timg6176 Yes, but this guy was very close to shore.
@@murfdog19doesnt matter.. you cant outrun a great white.
The best Thing you can do is to stay calm and not moving.If you try to paddle away the shark might think that you are prey trying to escape.
Our back yard has a jetty right at a small lake/ pond. It is 2m deep at most and doesn’t contain anything else but minor fish, some turtles, some bevers, birds (swans and geese mostly) and perhaps a lost northern pike from the river in a rare situation. If i’ll go kayak someday, i think I’ll do it there instead.
Why is this guy inviting other people into the water instead of PADDLING 100 yards forward???
Fair dinkum mate ,just grow some and chuck em a Fosters 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was waiting for him to say “we’re gonna need a bigger boat” never came
