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.

Later,

Maybe it does, but the sharks were raised to clean their plates, so you
never find any leftovers. :-)
