I couldn’t make out much of it, but the woman who was on the outrigger kept saying “calm down”.

All these spectacular videos you see nowadays are amazing, but I fear they give people the wrong expectation for what actually happens if you go out in nature: for the most part not a lot of anything.

Will people never learn? Vertical video is never correct.

She could have been lunch cuz you got to watch when you’re out there especially if there’s a lot of little fish around because they come straight up with their mouth open to go up eat fish up and if you’re there you’re going in his mouth too

As a podgy hairy bloke in his fifties, I resent the fact that whales will only reveal themselves to pretty ladies in bikinis. Exclusionary or what. Tsk.

Man - Wow. What is it?!?
Man - This! This ! This! Take the oar!
Woman - Marcela!
Woman - Whoa Marcela! You crazy!
Woman - Calm down, calm down.
Man - Did you record it?
Man - Slowly… forward…
Marcela - I ḿ holding (the canoe.)
Woman - What if she comes from underneath us?
Marcela - Calm down, guys, calm down guys.
Woman - Oh my God. oh my God
Marcela - Calm down, calm. Breathe. Nothing is gonna happen…
According to the newspapers, Marcela was the canoeing instructor.

Shhhh, the industry, you harm it.
I was just hanging out, being beautiful, speaking this beautiful language, on this beautiful day, in my beautiful outrigger canoe, on this beautiful ocean, when this beautiful whale came and made a beautiful jump in the beautiful sky!

Just like all of those unicorns. 
Humpback whales can’t swallow a human (https://www.livescience.com/64969-whale-almost-swallows-man.html). They also generally feed in colder waters, they migrate to the warmer waters for reproduction. However, nothing stops oceanic sharks from being around as well.
