My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. ru-vid.comUgkx4k5UrhC3v_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!
I added another entry to my "things not to do" list : fishing in a Kayak. This goes after "not to freedive at 50m" after seeing the video on blackouts of freediver, and "not cliff jump at 30m" after seeing the video on failed cliff jumps
@Keith Long no Mako . Thats a white for sure. If you slow the footage you can see the tail fin has a curve like a boomerang. A Mako has a straight tailfin. No curve at all. Its a teenager White for sure.
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".
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 🤷
Any shark is lightning in water....depends on where he is that would give up or rule out species....even a white can do 25-30 mph, does it really matter if its 35, lol.....
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.
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
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! As you said, people dive and snorkel with sharks all the time and there are more sharks around beaches than people even think. But Thanks for your input.
@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.
@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.
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.
Wow what an encounter. You can def rule out Tiger or hammerhead. Looks like a great white judging by colouration and torpedo shape. Too girthy to be a mako.
You're a hammerhead lol That was most likely a big bull, maybe a whaler or mako it was pretty quick. From what I saw there were no tell tale stripes to suggest tiger shark.
@@cheeseymccheese7249 how about no....lol I covered nearly every shark and some genius comes up with tiger 3 months later. So is it a sand tiger or just a tiger? Back to Google you go ;)
@@cheeseymccheese7249 you certainly don't study grammar at uni big fella :) "I" you're one of those well ejimicated fellas that has a textbook that says I'm wrong aren't ya lol
it looked like a bull, had a round snout, husky body, it did resemble a shortfin when its dorsal was sticking out, but it didn't have a pointed snout, I'd say it was a bull,
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.
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.
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..
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.
I mean it was pretty fast, so Mako comes to mind, but looked too wide. Then there's bull, but the dorsal doesn't look quite right, it's definitely either a Bull or a young Great White. I'd go with young great white due to the white trim around him you can 'just' make out. Hard to tell from top down view though.
It seemed too brownish in color for a Mako or Great White, but too pointy of a nose for a Bull or Tiger. Big and fast. My first glimpse said to me it was a bull shark.
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.
@@Beyondthebreakers um, take a wild guess? The bit where you stabbed it and all the blood came out and just hung around your kayak might give you a clue
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.
Dude, I think I’ll stick to a nice big comfy boat with a hot coffee, finger food, and refreshments. And, warm n dry in a cabin. Those sharks scare me 😳
