Yes there is something anyone (with a phone or radio) would be able to do. Make a phone call so that an all vessel radio alert can be made. Any boat in the area capable of rescue could potentially be there within minutes.

you cant just stop a speeding boat right next to a person, you have to slow right down or theyd have sailed right passed him. They also wouldnt have wanted to alert the shark that theres another possible meal in the water, by having the propellers on full blast, & creating noise & bubbles etc. The man stayed still & the shark went away - if hed have started frantically swimming & screaming it may have made the shark pay more attention to him, instead of the kayak.

I had a terror moment in the water once (not involving sharks thank god) i was swimming to an island (approx a football field away from shore) im halfway to the island and a boat going full throttle is heading right at me. I could tell he never saw me. I started frantically splashing in the water and waving my hand so he could see me. I guess he saw me at the last minute. He didn't even stop and just looked at me like i was from another planet. I will never forget the terror which is nothing to what this kayaker went through.

Many years ago I was doing a checkout scuba dive with my sister in Monterey Bay. She was facing me when out of nowhere (due to low visibility) a great white🦈 swam behind her in front of me. It was huge, probably 12 feet long. She did not see it. Thankfully, it showed no interest and kept moving. I signaled her to head for shore. When we got in, she told me my eyes were as big as silver dollars when I was signaling to go in. So, I told her why. It was then I noticed the sea lions were all on their rooks and not entering the water. This happened early in the morning. Watching the local news in the evening it reported a surfer 🏄♂️ went missing around noon (about a mile down the beach, where we had been scuba diving) and all that was ever found was his surfboard with a big bite taken out of it by a shark. We continued our check out dive the next day, down by Carmel instead.

I read the kayaker's report of this online long before I saw this video, and the video matches up exactly as described in the written account. Good Lord, it must have seemed like an eternity waiting for that sailboat to pick him up. Although it doesn't show the initial strike, this encounter looks to be more of a territorial attack than a predatory attack, but it's hard to tell for sure.

Yes seemed entirely territorial. No predation as evidenced by the shark ignoring the man in the water. More research going into the territorial aspect of strikes and attacks by sharks.

Uhh like watching it is equally as bad as deciding to film but not help?@@jeremya1018
I was thinking the same thing.
Stupid comment. Was the guy supposed to jump into the water and swim out all that way? Endangering his life for a total stranger? And few people would be strong enough swimmers to reach that distance before the lifesavers!!
Think about response time, way too late!!
The lack of urgency was astounding, dont know who was worse him or the wife, also those two in the boat were in no rush to gey him aboard either, very lucky man.
you cant just stop a speeding boat right next to a person, you have to slow right down or theyd have sailed right passed him. They also wouldnt have wanted to alert the shark that theres another possible meal in the water, by having the propellers on full blast, & creating noise & bubbles etc. The man stayed still & the shark went away - if hed have started frantically swimming & screaming it may have made the shark pay more attention to him, instead of the kayak.
Hard to believe that anybody would start filming a life or death emergency like that before calling for assistance.
Murica.
Who exactly are they supposed to call ?
Noting the ATN Logo on this video along with the jittering he was most likely filming scenes on the water with a real camera on a tripod. However, the "normalcy bias" in this video is truly scary.

“You mean a person?”, no a chicken was riding in the kayak, what a genius.

Looked more like a rooster to me.
"He got knocked out of his kayak by a shark" "You mean... a person?!" 😂😂
It's nice to know these people are just willing to video tape and watch this guy potentially die without doing anything but calling someone who will never get there in time. Good morals bud.
5 minute filming, then "Call someone Karen". Omg.... these people. Immediately call someone, try to find a rope or surfboard or whatever and try to help. Or just run down to the water and scream for boats or a boat driver.. People are so lazy these days..
There's literally nothing they can do it's happening way too far away, if it was a busy beach they could have tried to get someone with a boat to rush out there but it looks like a quiet area with no speedboats ready to go, so literally nothing to do but call for help and watch

He just was not interested in him, like in 99,99% of shark encounters sharks are not interested in humans and do not see them as prey. His sole interest was the fish in the kayak.

@@screamingreel8542 nah, more eating all of the fish inside. The "luck" of the kayaker was that the shark did not show the slightest interest in him.
I had also read the kayaker's report on the Shark Research Committee website where people report sighting (Pacific Coast Shark News Link on left) and his personal encounter was one of the most frightening I'd ever read. Just from shore it's terrifying, and from his perspective it must've felt like this is it! Glad his boat got the thrashing and not him. It must have been the longest 5 minutes of his life sitting in ghe water watching that thing, and not knowing. I'm glad he survived!
i saw a video where the shark is biting the cage outside of the water and the sound and seeing those rock hard teeth slamming into the steel with such force is terrifying. a great white slams its mouth shut like a bear trap.
Glad to know he survived that. I was wondering about it. That shark would have hunted me down from my brown ink trail I'd leave

@@neatznotso7424 nah they’re idiots. They wasted over a minute before calling for help. Every second counts in a situation like this. The kayaker could have been bitten and bleeding out. This guy was obviously not even thinking about this persons safety considering he never put down the camera and did anything. Also it’s not hard to look out a window while on the phone to keep an eye out. And I doubt anyone on that boat would know how to treat a shark bite so it was imperative the coast guard was called.
What an absolute creep. God forbid I’m ever in a life or death situation in public, I doubt anyone would help.

Sees someone in a kayak attacked by a shark that is continuing to attack the kayak, and the person is stuck out at sea unable to return to the kayak and may get attacked any moment - calmly decides to video and observe and wait to see what happens instead of immediately calling for help, smh. Imagine it was your loved one, how would you feel if someone did that. Every second could've been the difference between life and death.
People are so stupid nowadays and completely desensitized. This video made me furious. Poor guy out there must have been so scared.
I'd have taken him to sea and found a shark but this time made sure it was a hungry shark....
I paddle board, kayak and canoe all the time. I’ll NEVER understand why people choose to do those activities in open water or the ocean. It’s just crazy for real. Wow that person is very lucky.
I live on Maui, the ocean is the only place here to do it. We don't have lakes. I SUP. Stay close to shore.
Ppl are really stupid today.
Just depends on the area. If you're in CA, there are areas that aren't as teeming with sharks than others, depending on location of local seal or elephant seal breeding grounds. That's where the sharks tend to congregate. If you are surfing, diving, swimming, SUPing, or kayaking near those areas then you put your life in God's eager hands every time.
@LisaLou4sho then I'd take up a different sport that didn't involve water
A cool and calm mind could be the line between life and death...you can see the shark wrestling the kayak and a head slowly drifting away from the arena....Slow and steady. He just kept calm and survived, let that be a lesson for us all. 2 thumbs up for Brian C.

Kinda like the problem that they had in WWII, called Target Fixation, where pilots would be attacking ground targets, and become so focused in on their target, that they forget to watch their altitude, and crash as a result.
The shark tried to snatch him and got caught up in the kayak, probably got its teeth jammed up in the netting on the side.. so yeah I think if it hadn't been tangled up in a lump of floating plastic, it was definitely trying to eat him bro.. and before you come back with he had plenty of time after he got loose.. I think he decides to call it quits after that ordeal...
There's nothing human about it either it's sick
This is why I do all my kayaking in lakes. Small lakes. Really small lakes.
outbackeddie I don’t even kayak in lakes, I do all my kayaking in the bathtub!
@@bskee001 hahahahaha
@@bskee001 : Sounds like the safest place...lol
outbackeddie: Some sharks can be found in lakes and rivers. Even if it's not the shark, you gotta worry about gators in many waterways now too. That plus other species people be illegally dumping into our waters. My rule of thumb is that I just do not go into any lakes, rivers or even ponds. Only time I go in the ocean is up to my knees/waist, and only then it has to be crystal clear water so I can see the bottom, and see 30-40 yards around me... LOL
I don’t even like bath tubs
It took you long enough to call didn't it!?! Sheesh put down the camera and call first next time!!!
All over the world now, everyone has a cell phone and they grab it out of their pocket to film something FIRST, without even considering that FIRST you need to help someone or something in trouble! A shame, really.
But then what would we watch???
Umm Hello police? There's a shark in the ocean
I'm watching this with my daughter and I want her to understand to always call for help the moment someone is in danger
My thoughts exactly
I am grateful you got footage. Well done.
Retired shark fighter here, I experienced the samething but used my patented head lock followed by a barrage of blows to the face with brass knuckles. Stay street smart. Stay shark safe.
Yeah alright mate
That guy was totally Blessed. Who besides me thinks kayaks are not for the ocean?! Famous Quote:. I think you need a bigger boat!
Seriously, WTF are you doing in the kayak in a shark infested area?
I have seen so many kayakers and sharks or even alligators, they are definitely not meant for the ocean or wherever there are apex predators!!!
Monterey including carmel is so beautiful...i am from austria and i lived there for 4 years but the water is full of sharks...esp.great with aks jaws
@@ConflictedYouth You do know that sharks are in most of the world's oceans and bullsharks can be found in freshwater rivers and lakes...
We are not for the ocean
People giving ‘Karen’ a hard time but at least she thought to call for help. Dude filming was straight up entertained
I saw this video and immediately booked two kayak trips for Monterey and Channel Islands. It was a great time. Thanks guy in water for showing us how to have a good time!
He filmed this shark attack for one minute and 17 seconds before either of them thought to call for help. Sick.
Those 4+ minutes felt like hours to me. I don't wanna imagine how did the kayaker felt. It is amazing too how the kayaker kept calm in that situation
He kept calm simply because he knew it was over. But thank God he survived the attack.
Kept calm....or frozen in fear.
He was busy covering the water piss and poo.
The shark just didn't like how this dude was riding a pink kayak.
“Call someone Karen I’m busy filming” This video is everything which is wrong with society today,just standing there filming someone else in trouble,not a braincell between them.
I saw the fin, the kayak and the guy. But what was the movement up at the top of the screen in the water?
I read about this online after it happened. and was a interview with the survivor. incredible you managed to film it!
"Waitd over 1:20 to say call someone Karen" FAIL
Idiots
That was pretty crappy
Saucey Pants yea the guy filming is a dumbass, what an asshole,
Amen I'd said the same thing this guy was more concerned about his film than the safety of the man in the water.All he'd to do was tu call RESCUE 911 instead he started talking bullshit with his wife that was the person with braids tu call for HELP. THANK YOU LADY.TEACH YOUR HUBBY WHAT TO DO IN CASES LIKE THIS IN THE FUTURE.
If you could've seen it was a shark and you kept on saying so, why didn't you call 911 right away. Instead of gawking and chatting on and on about it. You should of called 911 right away after the split second you saw this!
„Call somebody Karen.“ and he unleashed another hysterical angry Karen to the world.
Thx guy taking the video seems like he is running and jumping around. How hard is it to hold it still
That sailboat performed the "man overboard recovery" technique very well. Glad everyone except the kayak made it out OK.
I have kayaked pretty far out in white water river kayak off the Mendocino Coast. I was with a others. I have fished 1000 times off the coast in fishing boats, but for some reason, I was pretty spooked being in open water in little river kayak. Now you confirmed my fears.
Привет я с Украины где это произошло и человек жив?
WOW, his Guardian Angel / Spirit Guide wrapped their Arms around him that day ! I bet he looks a life a lot different these days 🙏🙏🙏 #LifeisPrecious
you mean Jesus spared his life by his grace
LLLOLLL!!!!!! "You mean a PERSON?!" 🤣🤣🤣 I think that was my favorite part of the video!
He could call somebody, but nah. He's all about that content. Lol
😂😂😂
tbh i think most of you complaining would have realistically taken just as long to think of calling 911. it's not the usual thing people call 911 for.
I thought the same thing. Very slow
" He,s waving" go ahead honey, wave back?
Hahahah this comment got me laughing hard oh man hahahaha no shit right lol smh
Lmao! She's a moron! Call somebody? What on the phone honey? Moron!!
Call 911 ....what's the phone number ? Honey
Is there any link to an interview with the kyaker?
What’s that bobbing in the water behind the kayak ?
took him long enough to say 'call someone, sharon'.
He was very smart not to splash and move around much in the water.
If there was ever a situation when Karen needed to call ALL of the managers, it was this one. (In all seriousness though, Karen remembered that phones can be used to call for help just as well as they can film videos - well done, Karen!)
I had a terror moment in the water once (not involving sharks thank god) i was swimming to an island (approx a football field away from shore) im halfway to the island and a boat going full throttle is heading right at me. I could tell he never saw me. I started frantically splashing in the water and waving my hand so he could see me. I guess he saw me at the last minute. He didn't even stop and just looked at me like i was from another planet. I will never forget the terror which is nothing to what this kayaker went through.
Scary. I was freediving off the south shore of Oahu, Hawaii when a boat passed very close to me obviously unaware I was on the surface. The boat didn't scare me nearly as much as the lure they were trolling did. Two treble hooks whizzed by within inches of me.
I'm so happy someone came to help. God bless all of you!
Uh someone might be dying...gotta film this!
Right! Recent stats have shown that normally, a person looks at their cell-phone an average of 200 times a day! (New kind of sicko addiction!)
Lol
I am so thankful the guy filming was not harmed in all his excitement. He got so excited he could have had a coronary! Thank goodness!
Many years ago I was doing a checkout scuba dive with my sister in Monterey Bay. She was facing me when out of nowhere (due to low visibility) a great white🦈 swam behind her in front of me. It was huge, probably 12 feet long. She did not see it. Thankfully, it showed no interest and kept moving. I signaled her to head for shore. When we got in, she told me my eyes were as big as silver dollars when I was signaling to go in. So, I told her why. It was then I noticed the sea lions were all on their rooks and not entering the water. This happened early in the morning. Watching the local news in the evening it reported a surfer 🏄♂️ went missing around noon (about a mile down the beach, where we had been scuba diving) and all that was ever found was his surfboard with a big bite taken out of it by a shark. We continued our check out dive the next day, down by Carmel instead.
took them a minute and a half to realize ''maybe we should do something'' luckily it wasn't a matter of life or death right ?
Fr. 1:20 sec to call or even sail over their and get him smh. Glad he safe doe. Thank God.
They knew something was wrong as he pointed out the shark a number of times to 'Karen' before she made a call. The dude in trouble even waved out.
Gotta teach the kayaker a lesson no?
"He's waving" and the dude continued just filming...pff
0:08 Sees shark attack, grabs camera before calling 911 "Hey Karen, come over here..." 0:46 Karen: "Should we call someone?" Dude: "Look at the kayak. See the shark? See the fin?"
"Call somebody, Sharon!" "Hello, mom? You'll never believe..."
"Call somebody, Karen!" My new catch phrase!! ;-)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I read the kayaker's report of this online long before I saw this video, and the video matches up exactly as described in the written account. Good Lord, it must have seemed like an eternity waiting for that sailboat to pick him up. Although it doesn't show the initial strike, this encounter looks to be more of a territorial attack than a predatory attack, but it's hard to tell for sure.
Yes seemed entirely territorial. No predation as evidenced by the shark ignoring the man in the water. More research going into the territorial aspect of strikes and attacks by sharks.
Wheres the report?
@@columbusohio72 -- When I posted the comment 6 YEARS AGO, I could've told you.
What? You don't still remember where u saw that report!? 😜 I've seen a couple comments where ppl didn't realize how old the video/comments are.
Of color instigated beings he did.t choose him over the kayak him being the moving obv alive part of the equation no less to the shark to choose the kayak makes u think it's the color 100%
Can’t imagine how scared the kayaker must have been bobbing there in the water, waiting for the shark to lose interest in the kayak and go for him.
Why didn't he swim away? ? Annoying
Karen : "Who do we call?" A: Ghostbusters B: Santa Claus C: Donald Trump D: 911
I immediately thought of Goodfellas when he said her name... The part. When Henry said! "Karen. Why would you do that Karen"!!!
Never bring a kayak to a shark fight :D
LOL that's a good one. wish I had thought of it.
AWorldWithoutTenors So funny. I'm a kayaker too.
Psht. As if bringing a shark to a kayak fight is any more fair.
Unless your this guy
Call somebody karen.. Proceeds to call the manager 😅
Like no one move or even think about getting help, you just keep filming while there's someone literally about to die. Good job.
The shark actually was like: "Oops sorry for knocking you off mate, here's your kayak" *dragging it back to him then waving bye with his cute fin*
Your The only one with since enough to see what I seen. It's obvious the shark realized it's not his natural pray. And pushed the kayak completely back to the man and swam off!!! That's fuckin amazing and nobody on here realized what was happening was truly awesome!!
I was just thinking the same thing the shark even pushed his kayak back to him and almost flipped it back up
Lol only in a children’s book
Maybe he was really a dolphin 🐬 therefore the empathy and intelligence to do that
I am so very happy you are safe . It happened so very fast . Thank god nothing else happened. I always thought about that attack every day wondering how you were. Thank you for contacting me . So very good to hear from you that you are ok.
Seemed to me like it lasted about 5 years... Your video will be a big help to researchers who were trying to determine the shark's size.
It didnt leave bite impressions in kayak ? Thats fastest way to tell , and how big was kayak 12 ft ? My guess the shark was between 13 to 14 ft which is a massive shark , in video shows good shot of shark next to kayak it looked about 2 ft longer than kayak why i say around a 14 ft white pointer
Yes the 18 footer is believed to be the culprit of the surf beach attacks since 2011 evey 2 years a massive 18 plus ft has stalked surfers near santa Barbara and taken lives , I still believe the shark in video is around 15 ft max which is truly massive still it looks to be a foot or so bigger than kayak , let us know when you find out I am very interested thanks
Brian have you ever fished from the kayak or did you have any food with you?
brian c ...I watched this video, then your response and read your article. I couldn't tell in the video that the shark left the kayak and came toward you. When you said that and then he dove under you, all I could think is that he's getting ready to hit you from below. Then I watched the video again, and I just don't know how you stayed so calm. I know you attribute it to training, but I think some people have an internal strength and fortitude, that helps you survive extreme circumstances. Well done! So very happy you are ok. Btw...Beautiful photography on your website. Thanks for sharing. Great video too...I didn't catch your name but kudos to you and your wife reacting quickly.
"Can't they hurry"? You mean like as "fast" you hurried to call someone Karen? 😆
It looks like the person making this video was simultaneously being attacked by another shark. What unsteady hands.
Brian, I'm relieved to know you're alright! Thank goodness!
what's crazy is the shark kept pushing his kayak back to him.
Good video 👏👏👏 did u ever meet the person? Man u were shaking at the end lol.
Was the person ok? I seen it get out the water. Does anyone know?
Boater: Do you want us to tow your kayak in for you? Kayaker: NO! NO! Nope! Just leave it, I don't need it anymore!
“We’re gonna need a bigger boat”
Monterrey California??
Karen ended up on the phone for 3hrs complaining to the supervisor about the attitude of the first responder that handled her call.
Jeez! You must have been crapping yourself when he freed himself from that Kayak right next to you. Poor guy. Glad you made it.
Josh Judd sharks don't like the taste of crap . That's why they bump you first , you crap and now you are safe to eat lol
Man: “Sailboats coming over” Karen: “can’t they hurry?” Me: “yes Karen. They’re starting to blow on their sails, won’t take but a second now!”
He can’t take his eyes off @1:00- “call somebody karen”🤣😂🤣
Just noticed this was years ago - still disturbing!
I'm glad the camera person called for help but why did he wait so long to call 911? Should have called as soon as he realized there was a shark out there.
Charles Le Well, he was busy filming as you can see. What i was he going to do? Miss an opportunity for a great footage?
actually he never called anybody. Karen called.
Because hes a fukwitt
People with phones filming other people in need never ceases to amaze me.
@Brix Broox Easy, stop filming and call emergency services.
@@fredeb67 Which emergency service would you call? The police? The coast guard? An ambulance? Technically nothing happened.
@@pfhrmb If something did happen, this guy could have bled out and I don't think no one would have faulted you for calling and the guy emerging unscathed.
There isn’t a second when the camera is still. 😂 Glad he made it
It shoud be illegally for someone to filming somebody who's in distress and need the emergency help, before they call the authority for help.
So glad you got your camera tuned into the scene BEFORE dialling 911, or you might have missed his death, and all those ‘hits’. Even more pleased the Kayaker survived.
Funny
