This is my first post and I am a relatively new to the sport, a beginning?kayaker of just under 1 year. I was reading about the shark attack and well I want to hear what all of you experienced kayakers say. I have read about the color theory and YUM YUM Yellow ( not my favorite color as of now) and also about the Zebra stripes as being a deterrent. My inquiry is What do you do. Have you ever been in close proximity with a dangerous shark. What did you do and why? Is there anything to avoid or that is an indicator other than fish and mammals getting out of the water.
