I went down to Pt Lobos last May to kayak but is was too windy to be any fun so I didn't launch. The following week a kayaker was attacked by a shark near Pt Lobos. Fortunately for the kayaker the shark was only interested in the kayak and he was able to swim to a nearby boat and pulled out of the water. I have since given up the idea of ocean kayaking.
