2 summers ago while in Monterey visiting my relatives who also kayak up there during the 3 days I went kayaking we had 5 Tax man sightings. First one was from the freeway looking at the beach you could clearly see a freking huge great white in the waves, second thru forth sighting were while we were kayaking out of moss landing... When you see a great white it is more of a surreal feeling, at first I couldn't believe my eyes and than I just stayed still and just watched it, I know that I could not panic or it could turn bad.
Anyways saw 3 of them that day, first one I thought was a whale jumping to say hi except after 30 minutes or so we realized it never came back up, next one I was hung up on the bottom trying to break free and it swam by.... and last one was eyeballing the seals in the surf while we were he adding in. The next day we went out by cannery row and saw another one. To be honest I was never scared I was more shocked to see a fish that big, doesn't look real...
My take on it is if it wants to eat you there really isn't much you can do so if it is your time its your time, your still more likely to get struck by lightning while kayaking
