Whale lifts kayak out of water on his back

This is amazing video of a father and daughter off the coast of Argentina. They are kayaking when a whale lifts them completely out of the water.




I don't know what it is about kayaks and whales, but here is another father-daughter team who run into whales. The daughter hyperventilates as she fears they will get tipped over.




Finally, this whale shoots straight out of the water, shocking a group of kayakers.

    How convenient They're already in water so no need to wash undies.

    Kayaks are SMALL, so they are harder for the whales to see! THESE people must have WANTED to take this ride! I mean WHY would you row your kayak into a POD of whales!?!?!?!? It was ALMOST A GIVEN that they would have this happen to them. Unless the whale saw them, correctly judged where they would be, and AVOIDED them, or they rowed where there were no whales, this would happen!

    Maybe the first one was a whale of a greeting.

    Considering their size, it's obvious just from the fact it's not a "whale slaughters kyakers" video, it's clear they didn't mean the people any harm.

      Did anyone claim they DID mean the people any harm? For whatever reason, it seems that whales(even dolphins are considered a kind of whale) seem to be OK with people. And I'm sure they don't mean people any harm. They HAVE been caught risking THEIR lives to SAVE humans!

      BESIDES, with boats and the like, they have no idea what problems they can encounter, They probably try to come up in clear water. As I said though, something like a kayak makes that difficult.
