Some places we fish are sharky so we take that into consideration.

Just don't use a red kayak and you're okay.

Red kayak doesn't mean attack, I think its more to do with wrong place, wrong time. I had a nice calm experience with a whitey recently (actually think there were at least 2), and have a red kayak (video below). Been wanting to see one (I love sharks), but not wanting to at the same time.....

As long as they are under 10ft, I'm not majorly concerned. Once they are over that you can be sure I will be getting away as fast as possible.

I think it was 2011 or 12 there was a small string of attacks and the running joke was to sell your red yaks.

I surfed on a red and yellow surfboard in some of the most shark infested waters in Central America(we saw sharks every time we went surfing) and the only thing the red surfboard attracted for sure was mosquitoes.

Cuz sharks are AWESOME !! I love them. Prehistoric killing machines that filled an evolutionary niche millions of years ago and have become they best there is at what they do. How could anyone not admire them?

Saw the local NBC news this AM.....some chick recently lost her right arm above the elbow to the tax man. Didnt hear where she was but I'm assuming it was outside of the LA area.

Dun, dun. Dun, dun. Dun, dun..........

The article I saw didn't identify the shark and it was on the east coast.
