Watch: Tiger shark lunges out of ocean and attacks kayaker off Hawaii coast

Footage captured the moment a huge tiger shark attacked a kayak off the coast of Hawaii.

The wild encounter took place last Friday (12 May), less than a mile off the coast of O’ahu.

In the video, unsuspecting fisherman Scott Haraguchi screams in terror as the shark takes a chunk out of his kayak before swimming away.

“Tiger shark!” he yells, alerting anyone else nearby of the terrifying incident.

Haraguchi said he resumed fishing after the shark encounter.
