Mark McCracken only expected to go fishing when he decided to jump in a kayak and head a mile off Gaviota State Beach, near Santa Barbara, California. He didn’t expect to fight off a hammerhead shark using only a paddle, but he did, and he somehow won.
McCracken was able to film the 15-minute encounter with the relentless shark that was doing everything in his power to take a bite out of McCracken. In the video below, the shark continues to circle the tiny kayak, looking for an opportunity to attack McCracken. But McCracken continues to hit it with his paddle.
McCracken does reveal that he had a knife with him, but he didn’t want to “seriously hurt the shark” if he didn’t have to.
“Pretty sure I just kicked a hammerhead’s ass,” McCracken says after somehow fending off the shark.
I think I will stay away from all that and just remain in my tub where only mold can attack me because I’m too much of a disgusting, lazy human to clean my bathroom.
