Great Whites will get you anywhere since they are found in all oceans.
BTW if you didn't know, the red triangle here in northern california is the biggest GW shark breeding ground in the western US. Not to mention, the Farallon Islands 27 miles out of SF are visited by the biggest Great White sharks ever seen to munch on elephant seals.

This is as old as google maps.

About paddling across the pacific in a kayak, this one guy did one from Monterey, CA to Hawaii. Here's his account and it's pretty damn amazing and a good read.

That was an awesome story...retarded, but awesome. Why would anyone paddle from CA to HI all by themselves. It sucks enough flying here to Hawaii by yourself!

Not unrealistic though. I know someone who was followed by a great white shark when he was kayaking in the ocean. He basically freaked out and started paddling back to Tomalas bay where he started from. The shark followed him all the way to the mouth of the bay before turning back.

Astroman was being sarcastic. That's a well known real photograph.

What the hell from? I can only guess that A. They don't know how to kayak. B. No life jacket.

Kayaking across the Pacific sounds like a guaranteed remedy for life.

lake superior can be pretty rough, it did take down the edmund fitzgerald...
basically boils down to paddling in conditions that are tougher than their skill level.

Better way to kayak across the pacific
