I would not intentionally seek out Orcas but if I saw some while fishing in my Kayak, I hope I would stay calm and be able to shoot some video or take picture like I have when Grey Whales came close. That certainly would be an unforgettable although scary experience.

Which way were they headed?
I remember back around '83-84 we ("Redondo Special") were fishing just inside "the point" (Rocky Point) catching bass, and . We had been harassed all morning by seals but as soon as we spotted a pod of about 5 breaking the water, it wasn't long for the seals to realize the Killer Whales were in the area and it looked like a stampede as EVERY ONE of them hauled @$$ towards the safety of the harbor! Once they left we continued to catch fish without any further harassment. I don't know if they are a danger to surfers and Kayakers. I don't recall any incidents of death from an attack but I do recall hearing of one bumping a kayaker hard enough to knock the person out of the kayak but NOT attacking the kayaker. I also remember a marine biologist being interviewed about the incident stating that the Whale probably mistook the kayak for a floating toy and was probably playing with it. I sure would like to know more though as there have been more sightings along the Southern California coast in recent years (especially this year so far). Maybe a contact with the LJ Scripps Institute or Monterey Bay Aquarium might be in order! FFY Thanks for that information Andy. I stand corrected/informed!

Some pods of killer whales have been documented hunting dolphins. They single one out and take turns chasing it. Once they tire the dolphin out they will eat it
It would make sense that as the population of sea lions off of California continues to get larger that it will support larger predators such as killer whales. They may start showing up after the breading season to go after the young. It will be interesting to watch if such a change happens
