Nice videos!

I once encountered a 15' Thresher shark, while surfing. Luckily, it was on the beach and I didn't discover it until I had come out of the water, next to it (I thought it was a tree, at first). That's about when I decided that surfing alone in Australia might not be the smartest thing.

I'm pretty happy never to have (knowingly) encountered sharks while kayaking! Nice post!
