Shark attack on kayak caught on camera

A man fishing in a kayak in Hawaii had a close encounter with a shark. He was able to kick the shark away and even kept fishing. It wasn't until he looked back at his video that he realized how lucky he was.

That was so freakin scary how fast that shark came at him.

[TheTweetybird]

He could have lost a foot! Wow, scary

[ProCoach]

I love how people tend to rationalize that the shark made a mistake like they respect human beings. B.S. You are on the menu in their domain!

He is lucky the shark attacked at that angle instead of directly from the side. He would be thrown out of his kayak.

[garymcmullin]

never in my wildest leave of senses would I put out to sea in a Kayak, just no way to be out in deep water and in shark waters at that.

You should name your kayak “Shark Bait!”

Kicked the shark! What a lad! Bet he'll keep his legs in the kayak from now on. Glad both parties survived relatively unscathed 🤙

A big yellow wounded seal huh, tigers are territorial and known to eat humans. Sharks aren't dumb and I believe reports of attacks are kept hush hush due to tourism.

I like how he had his foot in the water right after

The only guy to go out wearing blue pants and come back wearing brown.

This is why I dont f'#? around with the Ocean.

[Mr.FrogClaus]

He took a bit to taste what it was... keep playing out there in unhuman world

[briargoatkilla]

His paddle looked like a fin or turtle foot. He was basically a big topwater bait.

[marcyc.]

WOW!! I'm so glad he's ok. I wouldn't go back out there to fish anymore that's forsure

That was NOT a mile from shore. More like 100 yards.

[Bob-bmfk]

Ur electronics screwed his guidance system.

[stingrayman]

Always have a buddy system, Going alone offshore is risky in a yak

[richardmurphy]

Bigger boat NO an actual boat ffs thats an oversized wash basin

[karmadeluxe]
