A Seal Sits on our Kayak 80 3

Kayak 17 years ago 61,087 views

Taken with our digital camera, we captured a seal jumping onto our kayak unexpectedly. It sounds like my husband is getting attacked in this video, but he is fine. The seal was very gentle and just needed a break from swimming. This was taken on September 12, 2007 on a beautiful Vancouver day.

The Seal Disliked It Cause He Couldn't Get On Fully :\

It would probably be viral if you shortened it...

Wait.. Idk why that comment showed up on this video. Wrong video. I apologize to all

It's not a seal ohworldgirl you are a moron. And these kayakers should not be hitting sea lions with anything if it wanted to it would rip your face off. Give the animal

I'd be nervous to have my camera near the water, but I'd regret not having it with me if something like this happened!

Seal is thinking, "Hey, free ride."

A WILD SEEL APPEARED!

There's another video on youtube of a sea lion doing the same. Again, it makes me wonder if it was hiding from something he saw underwater. Any Orcas in that area?

@dbstooge LOL yeah I wanted to see if this was a real video or something they just made for the commercial. Guess it is the real thing afterall ;).

ohworldgirl - 15 years ago

Hahaha - "my husband sounds like he's getting attacked" true. I wonder did they knock the seal off the boat - or did the seal dive off.

So much for stability. Glad you didn't tip. What an experience...thanks for posting the video.

That's me in the front and my husband in the back. We rented our kayak on Granville Island and shot this clip in English Bay, Vancouver, Canada.

Hanna Kim - 16 years ago

Thanks for your kind comment. It was an experience we will never forget. The friends we went kayaking with didn't believe us until I told them to check out this Youtube clip.

The seal was very comfortable with us. It even swam next to our kayak for a good ten minutes afterwards.

David Mosier - 16 years ago
