A kayaker captured the moment he was almost knocked out his vessel by a shark as it chased a seal in waters off New Zealand. The kayaker got away unscathed, later saying, “The scene was exhilarating and I was in awe.”

I can't resist…..You need a Bigger boat!
Exhausting. Poor wee seal. ๐ข
No the seals trying to get in the kayak with with that guy so help
I hope the seal won
A seal will think that your kayak is a log. Seals use floating logs to get away from sharks and orcas. It hurts the predator to slam into the log.
Seals being mammals, like us; sharks are fish. I was cheering for the mammal!
I pray that seal made it…
Great footage! How do things end up for the seal?
Circle of life
Why didn't kyaker position boat for seal to jump on!
Poor Thing!
He's pedalling his boat?
did the seal get away?
Seems unwise to get as close as you did to a predator and its prey
Poor seal ๐ข
I thought he was on a boat๐ฎ. Imagine seal jumping on the kayake.๐
Poor seal too hope he lived to see another day lifes ruff out in the open seas
People really are smart. Hanging out feet away from a killer chasing its food, food that is faster than you. All the shark has to say is f this slippery little seal, ima go after that slow idiot whoโs staring at me.
The seal was hoping for a space on the dinghy.
All I can hear is the seal saying nope…no HELL NAW
Did it get away or become dinner
You can see how simple minded people are. Only feeling bad for the seal. The same people would feel bad if the shark starved to death
Lol too close for comfort. Seals are friends, not food..
Thatโs a little too close for comfort! ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฅน
Damn that seal wants to live, swimming for his LIFE
Awesome footage! Good on you! Stay safe! (Australia)

Hate to say it but if that shark turned on you i wouldn't blame the shark at all.
