That wave was big enough to capsize a novice kayaker, but he used the right technique and used the wave to his advantage. Perhaps its best to only go out in the open waters if youre confident in your abilities to navigate trough surf like a pro.

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.

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 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 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.

[@christophermanabat1934]

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.

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.
