I have yet to see one while on my kayak. I have however seen them while I've been diving and spear fishing. Lucky I didn't have a fish on my stringer at the time. It is such an amazing sight to see a shark swimming free. And yes it is certaintly an adrenaline rush for sure. They are beautiful creatures!

Once you paddle into the ocean it's like taking the training wheels off, all bets are off. But thats whats rad, its more real than a sport.

I have also had A Mako and a Hammerhead doing laps around my kayak for 15 minutes apiece. Super AWESOME experiences. |

Hammerhead circled me for about an hour gave me a couple of bumps. Got the adrenaline pumping for a while but was more of an nuisance than anything else.

Shark Sheild
Invest in a Shark Shield and you'll be fine. Or just fish without it and hope you don't get bumped. Truth is, the day will come when you get your first experience with a GW. Every experience is different, some bad lots that are ok. Its their ocean and your in it.

Sharks
I surfed with a buddy of mine for about 30 yrs. We use to say, "when you enter the water, you enter the food chain" Have a nice day!

I've seen an 8ft hammerhead last year several times on the same day. Tossed a bait to it several times. Hooked it twice for 10 secs max before her teeth did the job.
