And, in the end, with a little calm. I contacted the California White Shark Project. Behind them, a dorsal fin appeared that belonged to what experts believe is a 14-foot great white shark. The kayaks that Ian Walters and John-Patrick Thomas were riding in on August 6 were 13 feet long and the shark looked like be a little bigger.
However, cooler heads prevailed and they got a good look at one of nature's most amazing creatures. (KRON) Two friends were kayaking off the coast of Half Moon Bay when they found a bigger fish than they expected. The dorsal fin of a huge shark appeared just behind them. A pair of Bay Area kayakers had a baffling close encounter with a large shark while fishing near Half Moon Bay last week, which was captured on video.
San Mateo County authorities issued an alert after the sighting of a great white shark near Half Moon Bay was reported on Saturday. Elizabeth Cook reports on a pair of kayakers who had a surreal encounter with a possible great white shark while fishing near Half Moon Bay last week. White sharks come closer to shore because of their annual migration to the open ocean, and two friends who fished kayaks near Half Moon Bay discovered it first-hand. With a hot weekend ahead, the Half Moon Bay Port Patrol on Friday urged bathers, surfers, swimmers and kayakers to be aware of their surroundings after sighting sharks.
