tonepoet Don't let this stop you. He provoked the shark by smashing it in the face with a paddle. It was most likely hust checking out what the long orange thing splashing about in the water was. I mean fair play to the kayaker he felt he was unsafe but this is why we need to stop this pop culture of sharks actively going after humans because it can often cause shark aggression instead of stopping it.

Sadly I seem to unintentionally catch a few baby ones where I fish. I always carefully lift them with the net and remove the hook before gently returning them . Just because we love fishing doesn't mean we don't respect the fish or the other marine life. I only take what I'm going to eat and do my best to safely return the bycatch

About 12 years ago, I was kayaking about a half mile off the Gulf Coast and saw a huge "volkswagon beetle looking thing with a reptile head" surface nearby. Anything you see from a kayak offshore can be frightening. Turns out I was running from a sea turtle 😁.
@marcus24000 he was in no harm, are you serious? Abusing the shark? You sir, seem to have zero survival instinct, and no sense of danger. Do you also try to pet and feed wild animals?
If he didn’t keep hitting it then it probably would have left him alone. The most it probably would have done was bite the kayak and figured out it wasn’t food then left.
I'm really amazed! I've always been under the impression you can give a shark a good poke with something and it will take off because you are not their normal food. But you tagged it pretty hard several times and it chased you a mile to kick you out of his pool!
@marcus24000 yes, because we aren't ruthless warriors who have probably trained their entire lives in the art of combat and have learnt not to fear any dangers
@marcus24000 That's a little too simple in the case of a shark... There's an evolutionary basis for that fear. It's even inherently creepy to swim in deep water where you just can't see the bottom and I bet these fears were also common for our ancestors.
I can feel the attitude change in this video, it goes from fear and instinct to complete annoyance as you play whack a mole with the shark and he continues to follow you lmao great video!
Thats dangerous because you will never be as fast as a shark. You gotta hit them to let them know you are defensive. Not something that flees like prey. Natural selection decided that you have a high chance to die when in danger by your own actions.
I'd like to share one of the scariest afternoons of my life so far. I had a large shark come up and give my kayak a whack while fishing off the Sunshine coast in Queensland Australia. My kayak is much smaller than this one and probably not built for offshore fishing but I was young and didn't really care at the time. I headed for the nearest place I could safely get to shore which was about 2.5km around the steep headland and the shark was never more than 5 or 6 metres from me the whole way. When I rounded the headland the swell had kicked right up after the tide change so I battled through big choppy swell for the last kilometre or so, at times so much water was breaking on me that the kayak was 90% underwater as it couldn't drain out fast enough. I'm sure you can guess how that feels with a 3.5 - 4m shark a few metres under me. Visibility wasn't great that day so I never got a real good look at what type of shark it was but I'm pretty sure I could see stripes the first time I saw it after it hit the kayak, so I think it was a tiger. It almost flipped me when it hit but there were no teeth marks so it just hit me with it's nose behind where I sat. The jolt was so hard that it knocked one rod out of the holder and it sunk to the bottom. The other rod was still trailing out the back with a pilchard on it the whole way, both times I stopped paddling to reel it in the shark moved right in close so I decided to leave it. The last 500m was awful, I was in pretty close to the rocks where the swell was the worst but I was hoping to find a spot to get out. But it was all steep sharp rocks with waves breaking on them so I had to push on basically paddling with the whole rear of the kayak including myself underwater up to the waist. The fucking shark never moved away at all and followed right until the kayak touched the shore and I clambered up onto the rocky bit where I launched.
Glad you’re safe! Although it just kind of sounds like the shark was just trying to get your fish/bait or hope you’d throw out chum, more than actively trying to attack you! Must’ve booped its head on accident
@@monikakalinowska3499 generally I think animal biopsy are adorable. But if a shark decided to boop me or my boat I'd probably have a heart attack haha
The point where your kayak began filling up with water must have been terrifying. I thought sharks would leave a kayak alone! Thank God that you safely made it. My next day’s paper would read: “Kayak for Sale”!
These sit-on-top kayaks are pretty darn stable. Obviously you can still flip them, but you'd have to do the wrong thing while the shark boops the kayak
@@tiaxanderson9725 just watched a video of some1 rolling their PA while grabbing a fish, he had waders on and almost died but his friend pulled him to shore. Those things are like lil boats i was super suprized i gotta go practice self rescue
Yeah he surprisingly seemed really chill for being whacked? He didn’t approach too aggressively either and if that shark wanted to try and attack it would’ve made it’s move
@@FlowceanSoul Absolutely right. That shark could have dumped him in the ocean anytime he wanted to. The vast majority of sharks want nothing to do with us, which is why attacks are so rare. And when they do interact with us, it's almost always out of curiosity or mistaken identity. Most people swimming off Cape Cod or the southeast coast of Florida or the other hot spots don't realize how often they're sharing the immediate vicinity with sharks -- sometimes within 100 yards or less. The fact that they almost never make themselves known -- let alone attack us -- shows how they'd rather steer clear of us 99% of the time.
@@RMR1 Exactly! There’s a channel on here called TheMalibuArtist and they do drone footage of sharks, it’s SO interesting to see just how many sharks are just hanging out around us or coming over to check us out and just swimming away. It’s crazy how easily they can just go by invisible to us even when they’re literally right under our noses! He even filmed an incident where a surfer paddled RIGHT over a shark, looks like he even touched it, and the shark just kept going on with his business.
Iboiv001 stole the clip of you hitting the shark and now he has 2 million views on it. He even monetizess it because i saw an ad. Pls DMCA report him as he is clearly stealing your livelyhood.
Mark has his business email in the description that I’m pretty sure the guy addressed before uploading his clip and they likely made some deal. Otherwise Mark might be quite mad yeah
Amazing video! Now u can pass not just a tremendous story down thru generations of ur fam but an actual video. You could have not handled that situation any better than u did. Great job!

But JW sountrack is thrilling. Ennerving. Please, put me in a cage anytime. Put me next a python. Even throw me in a river of crocodiles (I already faced that fear).
Hey bud, as a ocean kayaker myself you handled the situation fine. Don’t let trolls behind keyboards bother you as most of people are too 🐱 to go out in the ocean on a kayak by themselves.
@@whiskers4me Common sense for people not living their lives and dying with regrets. I’d rather live the way I want to live my life as there are millions of ways to die and I’d rather be happy outside doing something I love rather staying safe and live a boring life.
@@KL-gu7kc You do make a good point. But not everyone is brave or adventurous enough to try some of these things. And some people are happy to live a bland life. To each his own.
@@KL-gu7kc Also it really depends on where ya are. I'd definitely be afraid to go kayak out in the ocean because I've never really spent any amount of time living near a coast. I'm not too familiar with either kayaking or the sea to be frank.

But not worse than a cockroach (palmetto) flying around the inside of your car with you in it. I'd rather be in that kayak and take my chances with the hammerhead.
Davida Majako what a pain it must be around someone like you 🤦🏼♂️
Holy shit I didn't realize how fast sharks swam
@Haylea Glover oh my damn, 60 miles per hour
They practice their swim times every single day lol
Lol that's just like a fish saying " holy shit i didn't realize how fast humans ran"
Well it is their full time job...
Ebony Hollis Tbh we don’t run that fast. lol Even Olympic runners pale in comparison to other mammals
Sadly I seem to unintentionally catch a few baby ones where I fish. I always carefully lift them with the net and remove the hook before gently returning them . Just because we love fishing doesn't mean we don't respect the fish or the other marine life. I only take what I'm going to eat and do my best to safely return the bycatch
Shark - it’s time to escort you off my property.
Man - I’m leaving
Shark: leave faster
exactly.
"sorry about the shaky video"
BRO U SURVIVED
❤️right on
Adam would have appreciated that.
He’s almost passed a year now. My brother, being I never had one. If you met him, and maybe you did he would be your friend for life.
God I miss him. When you feel the world shift to happy I know he’s helping
Take care
Rachel Vasil I hope he passed peacefully. My condolences.
I would shake so hard that you can’t even see what i am filming.. you would only see a lot of blue
@@rachelvasil3440 sorry to hear. How did he pass?

Good one!
Man I swear at different times I could have sworn I seen 2 sharks. But that shark 🦈 is just that fast.
Turns out that sharks are the best paddling coaches in the world

Good description. Don't take the haters too seriously. You had to do what you had to do to survive, just like every animal does.
You held it together brilliantly, I stopped peddling and unclenched when you hit the sand. 15 mins of nope from me. Well done you.
well you've just confirmed my fear of the ocean..He was persistent. Glad you're okay.
You know you live in a place filled with stupid people when a person need to explain himself in a situation like this.
Mate, you did an amazing job ! Defended yourself as he was probably defending his territory or whatever.
Don’t listen to any criticism. It’s just plain ignorance!
Guy gets attacked by shark, apologizes for shaky cam. It's ohhhhhkay bruh! 🤣😂
Ikr 😂
No u take big shiit in water they run off bra
I was thinking the same when he apologized haha
I have the same ability as an Octopus under stress, while in the water, around aggressive sharks, I can create a huge brown cloud and quickly disappear!
In water you can't disappear quickly, that is kinda the scary part you are pretty slow.
What makes men make jokes like this? Truly curious. It's a certain style.

I think a bigger one would’ve been scared.
Jay why would a bigger one be scared?
Yeah.. a lucky dude. Imagine if that shark was in a full grown adult hammerhead shark 😱😧
Imagine if the guy was a full grown adult human

About 12 years ago, I was kayaking about a half mile off the Gulf Coast and saw a huge "volkswagon beetle looking thing with a reptile head" surface nearby. Anything you see from a kayak offshore can be frightening. Turns out I was running from a sea turtle 😁.
I love how he’s just casually just sitting while defending himself from a whole shark
JC jump in and say what’s up
A WHOLE shark 🤣
Yeah usually it’s just half a shark
Sir Tain’s Meadery yeh....the half with teeth!!
@marcus24000 he was in no harm, are you serious? Abusing the shark? You sir, seem to have zero survival instinct, and no sense of danger. Do you also try to pet and feed wild animals?
I would’ve lost it! Seriously, anyone giving you a hard time for wacking him with a paddle should go play with the hammerhead lol
I thought hammerhead sharks dont eat/attack humans? Don't people dive with them in those tropical destinations?
@@hellokittybg93 Hammerhead will definitely attack a human
the hammerhead could have ripped the paddle out of his hands
If he didn’t keep hitting it then it probably would have left him alone. The most it probably would have done was bite the kayak and figured out it wasn’t food then left.
@@Lee_873 fr
Legend has it the man found the shark sitting on his couch, smoking a cigar when he got home... shark: what took you so long?
Ahahaha
Welp...he did say the world belongs to every creature to come and go as they please.

No better yet it's like peter griffin vs the chicken, instead it's this guy vs the shark
"I'm here to finish the job"
I don’t know why you haven’t updated your videos for a long time! Really looking forward to your new work!
I'm really amazed! I've always been under the impression you can give a shark a good poke with something and it will take off because you are not their normal food. But you tagged it pretty hard several times and it chased you a mile to kick you out of his pool!
I think the shark was really, really hungry
Healthy MBS Probably this uneducatded prick of a shark didn't read the paper that put out that idea of poking once is enough...? 😉
Just Stay Alive, That Would Be Enough it looked more of a standard gray to me
If he wasn't gonna eat you after that first hit, he must have made up his mind after the second or third
i think i’d die from a heart attack just seeing the shark swimming
🤭
hahaha me too. im terrified of sharks.
@marcus24000 yes, because we aren't ruthless warriors who have probably trained their entire lives in the art of combat and have learnt not to fear any dangers
I'd pay a lot of money to swim with sharks..
@marcus24000 That's a little too simple in the case of a shark... There's an evolutionary basis for that fear.
It's even inherently creepy to swim in deep water where you just can't see the bottom and I bet these fears were also common for our ancestors.
i was just thinking of getting a kayak. fuck that fucking shit now.
+deth502 - Pussy!
Oh shut up
Get a boat
LMFAO
Preferably a bigger one.
That was nuts. It took me a bit to realize that it was just one shark, not a whole pack.
Who would've ever believed you if you hadn't been wearing a go-pro?!
Right?!
Nobody
would have been just another "fish story"
insert go pro add...nnnnow
Sometimes fighting for your life looks a little different than you think.
Well said...
I can feel the attitude change in this video, it goes from fear and instinct to complete annoyance as you play whack a mole with the shark and he continues to follow you lmao great video!
The shark was just trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty.
If it were me I would have the speed record for a kayak LOL.
Thats dangerous because you will never be as fast as a shark. You gotta hit them to let them know you are defensive. Not something that flees like prey.
Natural selection decided that you have a high chance to die when in danger by your own actions.
@23chrisfm awesome!
Lol tell me about it...I would’ve been gone
Lol
Running on water for this guy. 🏃🏃🌊🏃🌊🏃🌊🏃⛱️🏃⛱️🏃🚙🛣️🏃🏡
I'd like to share one of the scariest afternoons of my life so far. I had a large shark come up and give my kayak a whack while fishing off the Sunshine coast in Queensland Australia. My kayak is much smaller than this one and probably not built for offshore fishing but I was young and didn't really care at the time. I headed for the nearest place I could safely get to shore which was about 2.5km around the steep headland and the shark was never more than 5 or 6 metres from me the whole way. When I rounded the headland the swell had kicked right up after the tide change so I battled through big choppy swell for the last kilometre or so, at times so much water was breaking on me that the kayak was 90% underwater as it couldn't drain out fast enough. I'm sure you can guess how that feels with a 3.5 - 4m shark a few metres under me. Visibility wasn't great that day so I never got a real good look at what type of shark it was but I'm pretty sure I could see stripes the first time I saw it after it hit the kayak, so I think it was a tiger. It almost flipped me when it hit but there were no teeth marks so it just hit me with it's nose behind where I sat. The jolt was so hard that it knocked one rod out of the holder and it sunk to the bottom. The other rod was still trailing out the back with a pilchard on it the whole way, both times I stopped paddling to reel it in the shark moved right in close so I decided to leave it.
The last 500m was awful, I was in pretty close to the rocks where the swell was the worst but I was hoping to find a spot to get out. But it was all steep sharp rocks with waves breaking on them so I had to push on basically paddling with the whole rear of the kayak including myself underwater up to the waist. The fucking shark never moved away at all and followed right until the kayak touched the shore and I clambered up onto the rocky bit where I launched.
Dang that's scary!! Glad you made it to shore
Glad you’re safe! Although it just kind of sounds like the shark was just trying to get your fish/bait or hope you’d throw out chum, more than actively trying to attack you! Must’ve booped its head on accident
@@monikakalinowska3499 generally I think animal biopsy are adorable. But if a shark decided to boop me or my boat I'd probably have a heart attack haha
Oof... that was a harrowing tale. I felt panicked just reading it!
The point where your kayak began filling up with water must have been terrifying. I thought sharks would leave a kayak alone! Thank God that you safely made it. My next day’s paper would read: “Kayak for Sale”!
The whole time I’m thinking, just don’t flip the kayak whatever you do don’t flip it 🤣
That’s what I was thinking. That would have been bad. Shark would have been saying now hit me bro
*And if HE flips it?*
@@darktrooper2099 then he’s done for😂😂
These sit-on-top kayaks are pretty darn stable. Obviously you can still flip them, but you'd have to do the wrong thing while the shark boops the kayak
@@tiaxanderson9725 just watched a video of some1 rolling their PA while grabbing a fish, he had waders on and almost died but his friend pulled him to shore. Those things are like lil boats i was super suprized i gotta go practice self rescue
The shark seemed more curious than anything. He certainly didn't seem fazed by the paddle whacks.
Yeah he surprisingly seemed really chill for being whacked? He didn’t approach too aggressively either and if that shark wanted to try and attack it would’ve made it’s move
@@FlowceanSoul Absolutely right. That shark could have dumped him in the ocean anytime he wanted to. The vast majority of sharks want nothing to do with us, which is why attacks are so rare. And when they do interact with us, it's almost always out of curiosity or mistaken identity.
Most people swimming off Cape Cod or the southeast coast of Florida or the other hot spots don't realize how often they're sharing the immediate vicinity with sharks -- sometimes within 100 yards or less. The fact that they almost never make themselves known -- let alone attack us -- shows how they'd rather steer clear of us 99% of the time.
@@RMR1 Exactly! There’s a channel on here called TheMalibuArtist and they do drone footage of sharks, it’s SO interesting to see just how many sharks are just hanging out around us or coming over to check us out and just swimming away. It’s crazy how easily they can just go by invisible to us even when they’re literally right under our noses! He even filmed an incident where a surfer paddled RIGHT over a shark, looks like he even touched it, and the shark just kept going on with his business.
Iboiv001 stole the clip of you hitting the shark and now he has 2 million views on it. He even monetizess it because i saw an ad. Pls DMCA report him as he is clearly stealing your livelyhood.
tan da Well he does give credit to Mark and has a link to this video in his description, but yeah it has twice as many views...
Cuz its 2 min ofc. But he put link thats why I am here.
Now's 5million views
Mark has his business email in the description that I’m pretty sure the guy addressed before uploading his clip and they likely made some deal. Otherwise Mark might be quite mad yeah
Stop snitching..
So what did you do last weekend? *mumbles* “beat a shark with a paddle”
That shark is just escorting you out of the water safely lol
Kayaker: What are you doing bro?
Shark: Oh you know, same thing as you
My heart was pounding just watching this video!! I cannot imagine being there. Glad you were safe and sound.
Hammerhead: hey man, how’s fishing
Guy: hits hammerhead with paddle
Hammerhead: Ight you wanna dance lets dance
Jordan Krankowsky 😂
Hammerhead ask to last: Why you stolen my fish 🤣
Exactly!
Dance for me dance for me dance for me ooooo... dance Monkey
Most Likes I’ve ever got, thanks guys 😊
""Sorry for the shakey video, my hands are shaking a little bit"" Fuck! They were damn steadier than my would have been.
After this day this is what will be the new routine.
Friend: Why are you taking all those guns and spears with you?
This guy: I'm going fishing.
As the description says "This planet belongs to every living thing on it and we all have the right to go wherever we want.".
Tell that to Donald Trump and everyone trying to stop immigration...
I had a fight with a shark....how was your day......hahahahaha.
That's why I always bring my pet killer whale with me when I go fishing.
OBAMAS WATCHING ME that's a great way to feed an Orca
UA-cam has taught me that the hammerhead shark probably thinks your kayak is a blacktip shark.
I was impressed with how accurate you were with the paddle haha. I wouldn't be able to aim cause I'd be shaking af
ChubyDukSkruber dude same 😂
Amazing video! Now u can pass not just a tremendous story down thru generations of ur fam but an actual video. You could have not handled that situation any better than u did. Great job!
He went home and watched jaws after this with no fear
This us kinda impossible and it's completely John Williams fault. I bloody love sharks, orcas, snakes, all kinds of predators and I'm almost never afraid when I encounter them. But JW sountrack is thrilling. Ennerving. Please, put me in a cage anytime. Put me next a python. Even throw me in a river of crocodiles (I already faced that fear).
@@ramonapiercesalvatore5917 how is it John Williams fault?
Hey bud, as a ocean kayaker myself you handled the situation fine. Don’t let trolls behind keyboards bother you as most of people are too 🐱 to go out in the ocean on a kayak by themselves.
Being afraid to take a kayak out that far in the ocean is called common sense.
@@whiskers4me Common sense for people not living their lives and dying with regrets. I’d rather live the way I want to live my life as there are millions of ways to die and I’d rather be happy outside doing something I love rather staying safe and live a boring life.
@@KL-gu7kc You do make a good point. But not everyone is brave or adventurous enough to try some of these things. And some people are happy to live a bland life. To each his own.
@@KL-gu7kc Also it really depends on where ya are. I'd definitely be afraid to go kayak out in the ocean because I've never really spent any amount of time living near a coast. I'm not too familiar with either kayaking or the sea to be frank. Just as I'm sure plenty folks would be afraid to go hunting or hiking around here because of bears or cougars, but you learn your environment don't ya know? Doesn't mean I'm not living my life.
