Actually, the whale landed beside the kayak, not on it. Still a close call.

So how do you explain the kayak bobbing up like a cork several seconds later?

Undertow caused by the massive displacement of water. Think of the whale as a sinking ship. Many sailers are drowned by undertow, while many others "pop up" to the surface, like this person did.

Do you know how big of an object it would take to create an undertow capable of keeping a kayak under that long. Those things have a whole lot more floatation than you would think.
