Kayaks and Orca
I deleted this message posted earlier because the link was dead. It is now back up and works fine. Have a look, quite scary stuff: http://home.comcast.net/~team.scott/ima ... ayak1.mpeg
Wow!
I imagine that person was a very experienced kayaker.
But I still think he will need a clean pair of shorts after that.

Glen,
Ya, it looks like the roll is a little too perfect.
I'm not sure but is the kayaker waveing at the end.

orca length
If you asume the kayak at 15' and scale it out, the whale would be over 50' long. An Orca's length according to the "net" is 23' for females and 27' for males. On the other hand there are scary things out there and I was in a 26' bayliner fishing boat coming back in after mid- nite in the fog when I saw "it". Thats why I only flat water canoe with the shore line in view!

This website: http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjec ... Orca.shtml says more like 27 to 33 feet. Anyway, this video has apparently been around for a couple of years and has been proven to be a fake.

Fake or not, I would be heading to shore at that point! On a number of occasions here in Alaska, I've been out trolling for King salmon in my Zodiac and had Orcas feeding in the same area. I always wondered if one might look at that zodiac and mistake it for a seal! Never heard of it happening, but they look pretty big in a small boat...Juneaudave
