MAYORBOB: Good thing for him that he hadn't eaten any Snickers for energy.

HAHA I've got the picture:

yeah, with his diarrhea-propelled kayak he probably hydroplaned.

JMel: As somebody who tried kayaking & canoeing for the first time last week, I'm getting a kick of out these replies.

My father - who was an avid canoer and kayaker back in his day - that included white water - went out and bought the lightest & fastest canoe he could find. Me, being in my 30's and somewhat of a fatass who has always wanted to try canoeing or kayaking decided to join him to try it out. I'd never been in either and I could not get in his canoe to save my life. I got in it 3 times, and dumped it 3 times within seconds. As far as i'm concerned, that is a freaking death trap that was trying to kill me. The 3rd time, I finally got to sit down and steadied myself, but found myself sitting too far back with the bar from the seat being rather uncomfortable on the ass. I moved up 3 inches to get the bar out of my ass and went over in a matter of seconds. I don't know how that old man managed to get in that unstable bastard. I'd tip it if i flared my nose wrong.

However, I'm a bit taller than him, and heavier, and I carry all my weight high, which means high center of gravety apparently which didn't go well with a fast canoe.

Ended up spending the rest of the day in his inflatable kayak which while as stable as could be, was rather slow. Took an enormous amount of effort to keep up with him in his canoe.

/I'll be staying off of cape cod thank you very much
//Still want to give it another go - just need a more stable canoe or kayak that is still light enough to transport and handle on my own.

1) Take empty milk jug
2) Fill with sand
3) Put in bottom of kayak - push into nose
4) Repeat if necessary - push into rear (the kayak, not yours)

This should give you much more stability.

Officials advise staying at least 300 yards away from seals, a major food group for sharks.

I would have thought seals would fall under the "meat" food group. Do they replace "grains" on the shark food pyramid?

He's going to need a bigger boat.

theorellior: texmeth: So tired of this story, this fat ass was not in any danger. People fish for sharks everyday out of kayaks in Texas, another weak ass person from the northeast.

Can't be too many awesome kayakers in Texas, it's much fatter (31% obesity) than Massachusetts (23%).

Where are your stats for weak ass people?

Can a canoe with a cover glued on count?

Has anyone asked you yet why you were in the water when a shark was surfing?

Here they are:

A surfing great white shark? That IS a cool story, bro!

Aw c'mon that thing is a barge. It takes a lot of effort to overturn it!

That water is almost glass. How the hell much of a spaz must you be to be overturning several times in that?

/kayaks the Cape often
//never met a shark
///stays away from seals
////because, sharks. And seals
