It all happened so fast he probably wasn’t scared, thought a wave temporarily swamped him. If you’re kayaking in water like that, you got some balls. Later, however.

Seriously though, that must have been terrifying…
Humpbacks eat krill and plankton-- not sure why it went for something large
Probably an accident. It can’t even physically swallow something of human size.
