I saw it too and hoped that the wife did not as I told her that her that sharks don't attack kayaks.

Actually saw that one on T.V. about Great Whites. American G.W's are suppose to be 800-1000kg heavier due to feeding on Elephant Seals and are more likely to test what they think are food.
The Australian ones are more aggressive. Even though they are supposed to travel between the 2 countries.

The woman who got knocked out of her kayak actually landed on her feet on the back of the Shark as it started to head away from her Husbands boat and other craft and she jumped off the shark and started swimming fast. A nearby fisherman and his companion who actually said she looked like she was walking on water, went over and picked her up out of the water. One extremely lucky woman.

In Feb 2008, six of us were loading our kayaks onto a mothership in Geraldton, for a few days out at the Abrolhos Islands. The boat skipper looks at our kayaks and says "You know there are sharks out there bigger than those kayaks".

One of our number replied "yep, that's why we've got some big hooks."

Skipper walks off shaking his head.

I wasn't too worried because we had a group of divers on the same trip, good diversionary baits. 8)

(We never saw any sharks :) )
