KEp 19: Hawaiian Kayak Surfing in Sharky Waters

We lost a beloved north shore Hawaiian Life Guard and Surfer a couple of days ago to a shark attack off of Goat Island across the bay from my house. I’m sharing my thoughts about humans venturing into the sharks habitat, their home in the ocean with some tips about how to avoid them. Of course I will be catching some waves while I do this.

Mahalo nui loa for riding along with us as we kayak surf in the Pacific Ocean.

PS: my channel features original music, video and photos. Here's this week’s music:

Just the Facts: I ride a 12ft, carbon fiber Wave Witch Surf Kayak which has a foot controlled rudder and knee straps. The paddle has a leash attached to the kayak. I maintain a simple camera footprint. I use a GoPro 360 Max on the nose of the kayak and often wear a GoPRo 11 on a chest mount. Audio is captured on my phone and then married to the video footage in iMovie where I do all my own editing.
