If that was you that got ran over I give you mad props you a very calm person!!! Mad props on that because I know I would have been flipping out cutting out every person!!
If it was you did you ever get your ore back?

That wasn't me, just something I thought should be shared.

No, I would not be that mellow..

I would have stayed calm and called to cops afterwards too. That other driver looked like the antagonist in a rob zombie movie. I ain't becoming some back woods weirdos next science project!

Thanks for sharing that, just a reminder to keep and eye and ear out at all times, this is a great
example, I believe the yakker was toatally prepared, flag, light pfd, phone,
video footage, all check check, luckily unscathed, except for the rudder and yak damage, could have been alot worse, looks like he has all the necessary proof to be reimbursed...you just never know, so hopefully everyone thinks about this when OTW, in the open ocean it could get alot uglier....careful out there guys and gals:reel:

That is a lucky guy...

He was a couple of inches away from death, or paralyzed for life.

Looks like those 2 knuckle heads were going to drive off and leave him there.

I guess those bright orange flags don't mean much if the guy driving the boat is not looking where he is going.

not even a bad word.... wow..... had it been me, the F-Bombs would have been flying.

My halibut billy club would have been flying!!!

What a rude awakening.

or a flying gaff

Seemed odd to me that he seemed to be looking right at them bearing down on him and never tried to move. Obviously the boaters were seriously at fault, but my head is always on a swivel!

I guess leaving the scene of an accident (possible crime) is a free pass on the water :rolleyes:

Can you imagine if that was a car?

I don't normally speculate on what I would do in types of situations like the one witnessed, but I will say, those douche-bags wouldn't be driving off like nothing happend!

I think not after seeing your arsenal...lol. And I believe that would be considered "hit and run" even on the water, I don't think there is such a thing as a free pass, especially with the evidence, I think it carries the same ramafications as if it were a car, would be interesting to see the outcome though

Sadly to say I think that maybe it would be hit and run if it was two motor boats But since the kayak is a non registered vessel there would be no accident report unless he got really hurt?

He was smart enough to take out his phone and snap their photo.

kayak is a vessel or boat and all the same rules apply. including DUI's

had it been me, in those conditions, I'm sure I would have had, at least a little buzz worked up, and no dout those two in the boat were wasted....in any case, just like a traffic accident all parties would most likely get hooked up.:doh:

Just a little food for thought...protect yourself and stay safe out there.

Holy SH%T.

That pic would get the CF #ers and the video tells the rest of the story.That guy was definitely a very cool customer.

Hillbilly or not, someone would have definitely gotten a serious ass whoopin' out of that. It would have been different if there were remorse or something, but those Deliverance *&^%'s just fired up the kicker and left!

Here is a post from the Hobie fishing web site about the video:

Great to know they weren't just leaving the scene to get away and actually getting his paddle!
Glad to know that he and his yak were not injured in no means life threatening!!!
Someone was being watched over but still in other means when on the water at any time in a big or small vessel motor powered or man powered you still need to pay attention.
I don't think you would ride your bicycle down the street brainlessly?

From the horses mouth:

I think he handled it perfectly. He stayed calm and did not retaliate, and he has the impact on video and a photo of the two and the boat for further id purposes. If he got the hull numbers then he could report them as a hit and run and has video proof of it. He's lucky to be alive.

When I was fishing the OEX Mission Bay tourney a few weeks ago one of those rowing people ran in to me with their boat because they were not watching where she was going, and she even admitted that it was her fault.

No damage to the Kayak at all but she was worried that she hurt her rowing boat.
Like Andy said keep your head on a swivel when out where PBers are present.

I don't know about you guys but aside from putting a couple of .45's in the bottom of their boat (I'm legaly licenced to carry), I would have pulled out my flare gun and marked the boat! (providing they were leaving the "scene of the accident") 'cause that's just irresponsible and inappropriate.
FFY.

Cool customer to say the least, kept fishing. I think I would have reeled up.
