Kayaker tailed by great white shark off coast of New Zealand
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — Imagine taking a serene kayaking trip in calm ocean waters, and then finding yourself needing a MUCH bigger boat.
A solo kayaker off the coast of New Zealand recently had a close encounter with a curious great white shark that followed him as he frantically paddled away, as seen in this video from ABC News.
He was able to get back to land in one piece.
A terrified kayaker documented his ordeal as a great white shark stalked him in waters off the coast of New Zealand.
The kayaker eventually escaped unharmed, saying he was “grateful I wasn’t on the menu this day.” pic.twitter.com/g6SPeFN71V
