Spare me the bullshit about this shark normally not being threatening to humans. Terms like "normally" aren't going to bring me comfort when this this Moby-Dick sized shark is just stalking me starboard side of my plastic Kayak I just picked up at Target.
I've never once feared the ocean but this video gave me second thoughts. Like I was pretty sure shark attacks and other oddities only came to surfers and people that had it coming, you know the ones, "hey you know what would be a blast, open water swimming with a hoard of sharks." You deserve it at this point. But this dude is just minding his own business out for a leisurely kayak trip, maybe 15 feet from the dock and this shark decides he's going to come over and fuck this guys love of the ocean over for life.
I have no idea what I'd do in that situation, but I can tell you for damn sure I'd be praying for my life that sharks aren't attracted to urine like they are blood. Because I'd be emptying my blatter down the side of my leg if I ever encountered a shark the size of a Ford pickup. That thing could accidentally eat me whole like it was yawning or taking a drink of water from the ocean, and oops I just swallowed CW and his entire kayak by accident, my bad. My bad? My bad isn't going to help me while I'm swimming around in a shark stomach with krill and chum.
Safe to say I'm going to be a bit nervous the next time I step foot in tropical waters, and I now have a keener understanding of black people's fear of the ocean. There's just some things you don't want to mess around with.
