As a kayaker, The shark is usually larger than the boat, and I have no
desire to mess with one. Recently read an article about a fisherman in
a kayak being hasseled by a large shark. Brought it on himself by
cutting bait, and himself accidentally, but introduced blood into the
water. He was lucky to get back to shore. Anyway I have wondered about
carrying a bang stick like divers carry. I don't know whether they
would actually work, but like the last great act of defiance, they may
make you feel better!

I'm surprised that doesn't happen more than it does.
