The man was in New Zealand fishing when he was approached by the 8.2-foot white shark. 'I heard him before I saw him,' he recalled.
A magazine editor has described his experience of being chased by a"sick or hungry" great white shark off the coast of New Zealand., wrote about the ordeal for the magazine after being pursued by the 8.2 foot white shark around 2,500 feet away from the New Zealand coast.
But the jabs and the swearing made little difference. The shark moved towards the kayak and dove below the surface of the water. Dickinson remembered being able to feel its movements in the water before it broke the surface and turned to approach the kayak from the front, forcefully nudging the tip with its nose.
"My overwhelming concern was that he would choose to chew the kayak and tip me in which would not have ended well," he said. As Dickinson got closer to the shore, the shark disappeared and not knowing where the shark was, he paddled"like Fred Flinstone runs." Dickinson made it to the beach where he called his wife to explain what had just happened.
According to the Florida Museum Shark File, there are thought to be around 70 to 100 shark attacks each year worldwide, though the true number is not known because not all are reported. There are roughly five fatalities related to shark attacks each year.
