    A Coromandel holidaymaker is still in shock after a shark attacked his kayak 'completely out of the blue.'


    Kanaru Namioka was coming back from a Christmas Eve paddle in Matapaua Bay when he saw a shark close by.

    It attacked his kayak several times before letting go.

    Namioka says it felt like something out of a movie.

    He suspects it was a mako shark.
