[@zulhilminajmi8560]

My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. kzbin.infoUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

[@soupbonep]

It wasn't attacking the kayak, it was going after a fish. You can see the fish it was swimming after in front of it.

It looked like a big Bull to me, probably a female if I'm not mistaken they get bigger than the males. The nose didn't look square enough to be a tiger imo.

Hi. I’m a diver and I dive with sharks ALL the time. That was (most likely) a large black tip oceanic (no known attacks on humans) and it was clearly chasing another bonito (in slo mo you can see it in front of an approx 8 foot - medium size shark) You were in very little danger, the struggle of you catch brought the shark in

[@Beyondthebreakers]

I was not in danger at all, I don't know why people here get so excited. It is ridiculous to see that even people who call themselves "a captain" may think a shark would attack a kayak ))) This was just nice shot of a big shark chasing my catch, that is it!

Either a Mako or a juvenile White shark for sure. Most likely a juvenile White shark because of the gray color most of all along with triangular dorsal fin, pointed snout, a vertical caudal fins. In the clear water like that, Makos are such a brilliant dark blue color, they look almost purple. A Makos nickname is a "purple torpedo".

[@jerrywilson589]

Could also have been a Porbeagle shark.( also gray in color )

[@crankincraig1810]

My thought was juvenile white shark, the berth to big for open water runners, like oceanic, reef, hammer even to wide for a bull. There are some other fat greys, I think more common in Africa. So location could narrow but whites are everywhere 🤷

Not sure. It's nose is unconvincing for a great white. But it's hard to tell since it was filmed over the water.

[@BlueHawkenator]

All I can say is watch Sharks Happen here on youtube.

[@Beyondthebreakers]

It is extremely rare. Believe me, you have much more chances to be attacked by a human than a shark being in the water. So, do you stay at home all the time? It is much more dangerous to go outside than to swim with sharks in the ocean. You can be robbed, killed, etc.

[@Beyondthebreakers]

It is copyrighted unfortunately :(

[@alanmccooker7829]

To me the shark had a elongated snout. And I tried to see the apex of the tail joint which looked thick also so to me it appeared to be a blue pointer or Mako (Bonita shark) as they swim lightening fast. Because of the shape of snout it was either a Mako or juvenile GreatWhite but pretty sure it to be a Mako.

[@Beyondthebreakers]

It was in 120 feet, so bull shark

[@silasla]

The question is.. why did it approach the Kayak so fast? Looks to me like an attack was aborted just before hitting, which makes me belive it was a Tiger shark, thinking a Kayak was someting else when it came closer, a bull shark would just have tiped over the boat once it have decided to make the move..

[@ynic0rn]

Looked like a bull or tiger shark?

[@riverbankfisher]

To sharks prowling for dinner, the thumping sound of fishermen operating their kayaks' foot pedals, is probably regarded as a completely irresistible dinner bell. You couldn't pay me a million greenbacks, to go out in such a flimsy craft while trailing struggling fish on a line. A good sized Great White could swiftly snap that entire boat and its occupant, clean in two.

[@morganhare1]

after watching the video several times in slow motion. I can tell you that was a juvenile Great White. About 8 foot long.

[@Beyondthebreakers]

Based on the location and depth, I am pretty sure it was a bull shark.

[@Beyondthebreakers]

[@randallmoore4117]

I don't think it's possible to distinguish the shape of its head with much accuracy because of the constant distortion of the water's surface, but there are several frames in the 2:33-2:38 range that appear to show a perfectly good shovel-shaped tiger shark snout to me. The real kicker is the dorsal fin. Run back and forth through all of the frames at 2:37 and one of them will show that distinctive squat equilateral triangle-shaped dorsal that tigers have, and which no other big sharks (that I know of) do. Color's right, too. I'd give it 85% medium-sized tiger.

[@dermotgodfrey1454]

[@Beyondthebreakers]

Yeah, most people agree this was either mako or great white.

[@Egad]

Definitely not a Mako. Head was too broad and they look like they are made of metal. Also looked like it was after the fish, not attacking the kayak.

[@Egad]

@WildBrit777 Cymru Probably a Bull or a small White. I don't have any experience with Bulls, but have seen plenty of Makos and other North Atlantic species.

[@Egad]

@WildBrit777 Cymru Yeah, I'm in NJ. We see a lot of Mako and Blues in open water. Thresher, Sand Tiger and Browns inshore. But they have tracked a few Whites traveling along our coast as well and they come in close. If most people realized how close they come to sharks while swimming at the beach they probably wouldn't do it lol.

Just before the shark (which, imo looked like a White Pointer not a Hammerhead) is another Bonito, so maybe it was attacking that?

Moved by too fast, for 100% accurate identification, but given the speed, the color, and the shape, I'd say you lucked out since that Mako was interested in something else just then.

@@edpottinger849 we are not seeing great whites here in Florida. We have lots of bulls. It is normal to dive and spearfish with 5-8 bull sharks circling around.

[@randallmoore4117]

@Keith Long For what it's worth, I'm convinced @Lil Fish is right. I don't think it's possible to distinguish the shape of its head with much accuracy because of the constant distortion of the water's surface, but there are several frames in the 2:33-2:38 range that appear to show a perfectly good shovel-shaped tiger snout to me. The real kicker is the dorsal fin. Run back and forth through all of the frames at 2:37 and one of them will show that distinctive squat equilateral triangle-shaped dorsal that tigers have, and which no other big sharks (that I know of) do. Again, with the surface chop that shape could be an distorted, but it sure looks convincing to me. It also looks to me like the shark might taper abruptly in its last third the way tigers often do but which makos usually don't. It's not the right color for either mako, and distortion shouldn't have any effect on color. Although I agree in general with your feeding ecology point, I don't think one short burst of speed in pursuit of an obviously distressed bonito is enough to rule out tiger shark, and generally speaking, makos are much more highly pelagic than the near-shore zone where this video was shot.

[@gravedanger789]

That was a White Pointer im pretty sure. Not huge but not tiny either. Im 90 per cent sure and ive had some experience around em like when my diving partner got eaten by one. A Bull shark has a 2nd dorsal fin infront of the tail where a Great White basically doesnt have a 2nd Dorsal fin. Technically its there but very small. A bull shark has wide and fatter pectoral fins . 1000 per cent sure its not a Tiger but could be a Mako except the nose is not pointy enough to be a Mako i think. Could be wrong but i dont think i am. Been bumped on my Kayak for 30 mins by a 5.5m White a few years back and its not fun. Stopped me from going so far out again.

I can kinda make out the distinctive flat, wide area behind the 2nd dorsal that says White shark. Yeah, after 10 views, it's a White. It's thick, heavy bodied, pointed nose, no tips...just really, really appears to be a juvey White.
