While doing a little research into last week's shark attack of a kayaker in Australia, I came across several video clips of kayak fishermen (and women) tangling with sharks. After viewing a small sample of representative videos, it became quite apparent that this is not too uncommon an occurrence down under. I knew that the population density of sharks in the waters off of Australia was pretty high, what surprised me was the number of Australian paddlers with video cameras!All joking aside, kayak fishing in the open ocean is both an exhilarating and a dangerous sport. There are so many ways to get injured or worse while out on the water, most of which have nothing to do with sharks. Safety and preparedness should be the guiding principles of any kayak sportsman. You can start preparing by watching this video:
