Kayaker films terrified Great White Shark stalking it for eight minutes in fear images

A terrified kayakist documented his terrible experience when a great white shark approached him on waters on the coast of Northland, New Zealand.

The images of Matthew John Patrick Wells show what he said was the large 4.5 meter white shark that showed a “curious and scary interest” in his kayak.

“While I caught the kayak for the King of the yellow tail … I was received by a great huge target that followed me curiously for eight minutes,” Wells told Storyful.

“The shark finally left me unharmed, but the experience is one that I will never forget,” he added. “He was a beautifully scary animal, an apex predator who deserves our utmost respect … I am grateful that he was not in the menu this day.” Credit: Matthew John Patrick Wells through Storyful
