looked like a tourist in over their head.

Or some guys looking for publicity and intentionally something 'shocking' or 'news worthy'. Makes you wonder how the news media got a hold of their video clip.

I saw this this am and was wondering the same, there was a rod bungied down underneath his leg prior to flipping, also they just happened to have the Go Pro in the water as it was happening, no pfd or anyother equipment on the yak, smells "fishy" to me, but it will get alot of publicity
to say the least.
I call BS on this video

"Earlier in the day , they caught a much smaller shark"...

When he looks at the camera after going over I am reminded of the looks given by those who had obviously staged their "accident" to get on America's Funniest Videos...
