you cant just stop a speeding boat right next to a person, you have to slow right down or theyd have sailed right passed him. They also wouldnt have wanted to alert the shark that theres another possible meal in the water, by having the propellers on full blast, & creating noise & bubbles etc. The man stayed still & the shark went away - if hed have started frantically swimming & screaming it may have made the shark pay more attention to him, instead of the kayak.

Call 911 ....what's the phone number ? Honey

„Call somebody Karen.“ and he unleashed another hysterical angry Karen to the world.

"Call somebody, Sharon!" "Hello, mom? You'll never believe..."

Never bring a kayak to a shark fight :D

Unless your this guy

That sailboat performed the "man overboard recovery" technique very well. Glad everyone except the kayak made it out OK.

“Call someone Karen I’m busy filming” This video is everything which is wrong with society today,just standing there filming someone else in trouble,not a braincell between them.

How do you call this a great white shark when you only seen fins from a distance?

Uh someone might be dying...gotta film this!

It didnt leave bite impressions in kayak ? Thats fastest way to tell , and how big was kayak 12 ft ? My guess the shark was between 13 to 14 ft which is a massive shark , in video shows good shot of shark next to kayak it looked about 2 ft longer than kayak why i say around a 14 ft white pointer

Yes the 18 footer is believed to be the culprit of the surf beach attacks since 2011 evey 2 years a massive 18 plus ft has stalked surfers near santa Barbara and taken lives , I still believe the shark in video is around 15 ft max which is truly massive still it looks to be a foot or so bigger than kayak , let us know when you find out I am very interested thanks

brian c ...I watched this video, then your response and read your article. I couldn't tell in the video that the shark left the kayak and came toward you. When you said that and then he dove under you, all I could think is that he's getting ready to hit you from below. Then I watched the video again, and I just don't know how you stayed so calm. I know you attribute it to training, but I think some people have an internal strength and fortitude, that helps you survive extreme circumstances. Well done! So very happy you are ok. Btw...Beautiful photography on your website. Thanks for sharing. Great video too...I didn't catch your name but kudos to you and your wife reacting quickly.

Was the person ok? I seen it get out the water. Does anyone know?

Monterrey California??

I have kayaked pretty far out in white water river kayak off the Mendocino Coast. I was with a others. I have fished 1000 times off the coast in fishing boats, but for some reason, I was pretty spooked being in open water in little river kayak. Now you confirmed my fears.

He can’t take his eyes off @1:00- “call somebody karen”🤣😂🤣

Call somebody karen.. Proceeds to call the manager 😅

He was very smart not to splash and move around much in the water.

I read the kayaker's report of this online long before I saw this video, and the video matches up exactly as described in the written account. Good Lord, it must have seemed like an eternity waiting for that sailboat to pick him up. Although it doesn't show the initial strike, this encounter looks to be more of a territorial attack than a predatory attack, but it's hard to tell for sure.

Yes seemed entirely territorial. No predation as evidenced by the shark ignoring the man in the water. More research going into the territorial aspect of strikes and attacks by sharks.

0:08 Sees shark attack, grabs camera before calling 911 "Hey Karen, come over here..." 0:46 Karen: "Should we call someone?" Dude: "Look at the kayak. See the shark? See the fin?"

Man: “Sailboats coming over” Karen: “can’t they hurry?” Me: “yes Karen. They’re starting to blow on their sails, won’t take but a second now!”

Like no one move or even think about getting help, you just keep filming while there's someone literally about to die. Good job.

Siri calls 911 when the shark attacks. Just like when you are in a crash it knows to call 911.

The shark actually was like: "Oops sorry for knocking you off mate, here's your kayak" *dragging it back to him then waving bye with his cute fin*

Maybe he was really a dolphin 🐬 therefore the empathy and intelligence to do that

Boater: Do you want us to tow your kayak in for you? Kayaker: NO! NO! Nope! Just leave it, I don't need it anymore!

Many years ago I was doing a checkout scuba dive with my sister in Monterey Bay. She was facing me when out of nowhere (due to low visibility) a great white🦈 swam behind her in front of me. It was huge, probably 12 feet long. She did not see it. Thankfully, it showed no interest and kept moving. I signaled her to head for shore. When we got in, she told me my eyes were as big as silver dollars when I was signaling to go in. So, I told her why. It was then I noticed the sea lions were all on their rooks and not entering the water. This happened early in the morning. Watching the local news in the evening it reported a surfer 🏄‍♂️ went missing around noon (about a mile down the beach, where we had been scuba diving) and all that was ever found was his surfboard with a big bite taken out of it by a shark. We continued our check out dive the next day, down by Carmel instead.

Karen : "Who do we call?" A: Ghostbusters B: Santa Claus C: Donald Trump D: 911

it's sad how people are more interested in filming someone in danger rather then try to help. man filming is a prick.

I was an open-water diver in Monterey Bay some years ago. Mostly we stayed in the area where the kelp fields were because sharks didn't come into that area where there were a lot of sea lions and seals, and they knew it! Sharks don't like kelp forests. There is NO WAY you could get me out in a kayak in that area now. With the rise in ocean temps, sharks are chasing bait-fish in close to shore now, and that is Great White area! I saw a nurse shark resting on the bottom but that wasn't a threat. Monterey Bay, California, is within the "Red Triangle," (due to shark bites) and bloody water!) an area stretching from Monterey Bay up past San Francisco to about Bodega Bay and out west to the Farallon Islands. We used to fish out there near the Farallons all the time in about 300' deep water for rock cod, salmon during a run, and we'd see a lot of pinnipeds (a favorite food of sharks) all the time. Once I thought I had a huge salmon on the line, it ran way out, I was trying to reel it in and it was heavy, then it stopped. I reeled in just the head of a salmon, and saw a sea lion surface out there, chewing, and saying "thank you!"

I once saw a sealion attack a salmon off of the pier just inside GG bridge outside the Warming Hut cafe. There was an almighty commotion in the water and by the time I got there I saw a salmon pop up to the surface bitten in two and blood everywhere. I was sure I was about to see my first great white and then a delighted sealion popped it's head up and started to devour the fish.

I thought conventional wisdom held that sharks do lurk in kelp beds amidst the seals and sea lions, in search of a meal. It is odd to hear that they actually avoided kelp beds in the past. Shows how little this landlubber knows about the sea.

Great Whites prefer cold water temps. The water is warmer the shallower it gets. So if you blame great whites coming into shallow water because of "the rising ocean temperatures", then you are a moron. Great Whites do go into kelp forests.

Not sure if it was attacking the kayak or stuck in the hole? Was it pushing it around aggressively or just trying to get the kayak off it's head??

why is it when i'm bass fishing in my boat 25'' from shore (midwestern trolling motor only lake)casting toward the bank kayakers feel the need to cut between me and the bank one guy the other day ask me what kind of lure I was using I told him he was about to find out because he was about to run into my line
