    My guess is the kayak looks like a shark to the great white. Look at its outline it has "fins" on both sides. And the back of it looks like it has a tail fin sticking up, along with the shape of it the Great white just probably though it was another shark.

    Yeah and I'll bet the kayak needed to be cleaned out when that guy got back to shore.

    Of all the animals I would hate to run into, a shark and big cat take the cake.

    In water, not much you can do against a shark to defend yourself. *eye gouge*

    Impressive but I reckon that guy was shitting himself! I mean they "say" that sharks don't tend to act aggressively towards kayaks, but you may just get that one shark that hasnt seen Shark Week and decide to have a taste, and I imagine being tasted by a 12 ft Great White is nowhere near as gentle as it sounds.

    That was in the papers over here. They were researching shark behaviour, specifically the reasons for sharks coming in close to shore during certain times of the year. The shark didn't attack either.

    That's a great picture. I can't believe someone would do something like this on purpose. Much bigger balls than me.

    word!! Some of these biologists are gutsy as hell. I have a sea kayak, but I would never put the damn thing in shark infested waters.
