      @@violent_bebop9687 You are clearly either very paranoid or have an accute sense of fear towards sharks which is very normal if you have watched Jaws or any other shark horror movie. There are millions of people in the world who surf every year and while you wait on your board to catch the next wave guess what you will be dangling your feet in the water. If they all had a shark encounters or shark attacks then shark attack victim numbers per year would be in the millions. That is obviously not the case. But if you are afraid of sharks then simply dont get into the water.

      @@taskforceknight9336 I see your point here, for sure, but if you just go google shark attacks there are a fuckload of videos all over the place of close calls. Odds are definitely pretty rare but I think less so than you try making it sound. Dying from one isn't common whatsoever but a close call is nothing out of the ordinary really.

    I rented a surfboard once when I was younger, off Melbourne beach Fl.
    Went way out , 400yds no waves to speak of. I was clueless , started slowly paddling back in and heard a burst of air right behind me glanced back for a split sec , saw the turtle as big as me in that split sec. But it didn’t matter, it was still jaws to me and I never moved so fast in my life !
    Don’t know why it affected me that way but I never went out on a surf board again. I’m from Florida , love the water always in it but I have to be able to see everything around me, no murky water.
    I only play in the gulf coast for that reason.

    4m Great White, 2ft off the left side of my kayak. Swam slowly up next to me from behind, it's dorsal almost completely out of the water was nearly as high as my shoulder. I could have reached out and grabbed it. That was one big shark, and I got a good look at it as it kinda just hung out next to me for a couple seconds. Very remote location about 2 day paddle from mainland. One of the best memories I have...I'm glad to be around to have it ;)

      We were about 30 minutes paddling off Goat Island back toward St. Peter. The funny thing is that a few of us were thinking about taking a swim.We decided to paddle ahead of the group and then practice rolls (none of us could even do a roll at the time). It was a beautiful day so a little swim seemed like a good idea. The shark showed up about a minute before we were gonna stop. The thought of that still creeps me out to this day, lol.

      I always carry a second paddle(or oar) if I'm on the water and I only fish open lakes and kayak rivers in mine, no ocean. Usually I tie it down to the boat somewhere in the event that I flip over, there is still a paddle with my boat. This video just reinforces that it is a good idea haha.

    It is a small Bull Shark. He (or she) is doing exactly what they do where a river dumps into the ocean. Those inlets/outlets are the prime spots for feeding which will have them in aggression mode. I love the "WTF look" on his face after the first strike. Then when it hits again he takes off full speed...lol

    It demonstrates the importance of trying to keep your composure in critical situations.
    I notice your look over the shoulder at 0:51, anticipating the wave coming, and appear to have the skill to ride it with ease. But a less experienced kayaker could've panicked and paddled away as fast as they can, got taken by surprise by the wave from behind, accidentally surfed and got forced sideways then flipped, and ended up in a far worse situation!

    It’s for moments like this that I have a RC WaterJet pump with me whenever I go kayaking. It’s a custom built dual 40mm waterjet built from RC parts with a small but high powered Lipo battery to give me a 10min burst of speed to get away from dangerous situations. It’s connected to my paddle with the sensitive electronics boxed in the middle of my paddle and closer to the bottom are dual water jets controlled by a throttle trigger next to the electronic box. I use the paddle normally most of the time but in rip tides/shark sightings or just lazy to paddle back to shore I use the water jets. I urge every kayaker to build one. It has saved me many times. The paddle acts as a rudder when I’m using the RC waterjets. It makes the paddle about 5lb heavier but I sometimes bring two paddles. One dual sided paddle and RC paddle is a single sided paddle. I call it my “OSP (Oh Shit Paddle). Custom built out of a 2” PVC pipe (batteries and electronics inside the pipe, fiberglass (jets and brushless motors blended together with the paddle) and RC boat parts.

    They are known to be very aggressive and they have blunt noses.
    If you review the stop motion footage you can see how the dorsal fin is close to the head. That means it is a small shark. The blunt noses indicates a bull shark. The fact that it came back again shows its aggression towards you.
