: Wow, that is an amazing story! Funny thing, I was watching
: "shark week" two nights ago and a guy in South Africa
: was kayaking with great whites and saying that they were just
: curious and would never bite a kayak. I guess he was wrong!

: By the way, funny you mentioned the bananas, my friend will not
: allow bananas on his boat whatsoever. He once turned away a $700
: daytrip because the guy refused to get rid of his bananas before
: boarding. I'm sure he would blame the bananas for your incident,
: but I think that's a myth. I blame the seals. probably the big
: guy was saying "Those are my seals- stay away." The
: actions you describe to me are not a shark attacking a prey. I
: have seen many sharks attacking prey and it is a very violent
: attack with a back-and-forth motion of the body. What you
: described to me was a territorial thing.

: Anyway, amazing show of the strength of your kayak. You should
: respond to the guy that just posted wondering how many layers of
: fiberglass he needs. Whatever layup you did, I say that's
: probably the best choice!!!

: Thanks for sharing. Glad you came out okay.

I don't think it'll float with 700 layers of glass ;)
