Kayaker Survives Great White Shark Attack at Pacifica Beach

From underneath a kayak looks a lot like a big tasty seal.
A sea kayaking friend of ours in Juneau was having problems with aggressive sea lions getting in his face while paddling, so he painted the underside to look like the belly of an orca. It scared off the sea lions, but attracted killer whales. I think he bought a skiff and motor after almost getting swamped a few times.

Shark attacks never happen but I read about a lot of them.

The usual media fabrications...everyone knows sharks don’t even exist...

“But there are no known cases of orca attacks on people, so far as I know”

My surfing days ended when I was sitting outside one morning, and something dark, about ten feet long passed beneath me at about 6-10 feet of depth. Fortunately the waves were running and I quickly caught one in for the last time. I was about 37-38 at the time.

Now I watch those surfing championships on TV and still think of what must be out there swimming around with those hotdoggers.

An Orca with poor eyesight, thought the boat was a rival Orca, maybe?
