I can think of several reasons why that will not be an issue...

With the biggest one being that the shark is fake.

So fake.... since when do sharks have a boat wake and if you look close you can see the fin is pixelated where it is put in. and the more you look the more Fake you can see like if the shark is that close to the surface where is the tail?

lol. That doesn't even look close to real. Notice how none of the people who are swimming around in the waves seem to be concerned at all when a shark comes swimming 3 feet away from them?

yeah, no way. If any of you have ever caught a shark - they go buck wild after you set the hook. Althought I have landed some lazy sharks.

From what I've seen, Great Whites normally don't attack like that. I've never been approached by a great white on my kayak out in the pacific but a few of my friends I kayak with have but they've never been attacked. One of my friends was attacked by a shark, it came out of the water like a missile and chomped down on the kayak's front end. The force was amazing. I was about 100 yards away when it happened. My friend got thrown off but he quickly climbed back on again just to get thrown off again. The shark was shaking the front of the kayak like nuts. In any case, that got everyone off the water in a hurry me included.
I think my friend got attacked because his kayak is blood red in color and he uses the mirage drive (mechanical pedals that look like flippers) that he operates with his feet.

Also doesn't help that kayaks look like seals ... and sharks have terrible vision, so it has more to do with the silhouette and any time of friction that can cause static electricity. Since the shark attacked the front of the boat, I'm willing to wager that he was attacking the pedal part because it was annoying the shit out of him. A few years ago, there was a great white that killed itself because a screw was barely loose and was sending out small electrical signals - being in the corner, the shark couldn't get to it and just kept running into the wall.

I love all the cries of how fake this video is with the added detailed explanations of why. Do you really think you are some kind of forensic video expert? Of course its effing fake you dumbasses!

there's a real video, probably still somewhere in the archives of
http://www.surfline.com/

that shows a guy in South Africa getting attacked by a great white & there's a second great white right there. (some people would say he got attacked by 2 great whites but i don't think the second one ever made contact.)

happened about 5 years ago.

and then there's Bethany Hamilton, a woman in Hawaii who had an arm bit off and is now a pro woman surfer.

they think the shark that bit her was a tiger shark.
