Couldn't believe this news item when I saw it on TV tonight... check out the LA Times article, where they mention another recent shark versus kayak encounter on the west coast:

Stay clear of the seals!
I swam Sunday off Los Angeles, after reading a few of these stories. ABout 1/4 mile in a large gray shape swam quickly below me. I had heard the echolocation earlier, and the thing below me was swimming up and down (like a dolphin) and not side to side (like a shark) but still scared the you know what for a moment. Had to stop and watch it surface. Just to make sure
LOL I was swimming in the Atlantic off the coast of NJ with a few friends and when we stopped to tread water and chat, I asked them "have you guys ever spotted a shark out here?"
Only a few seconds passed after I asked that question when we saw a grey fin break the surface of the water no more than 12 feet from us. It was joined by two other grey fins. My heart stopped for a nanosecond before I realized that we were in the midst of three porpoises. They probably saw us, snorted "amateurs" amongst themselves and then continued on their way. :D
