WATCH: Whale Nearly Swallows Kayakers

A couple of kayakers are lucky to be alive after a humpback whale almost swallowed them whole and it was all caught on video.

The kayakers were whale watching off California’s Avila Beach in San Luis Obispo when, out of nowhere, the whale came up to the surface to eat a big pool of fish. In the video, it appeared like the whale swallowed a women, but their kayak only capsized and they were thrown underwater. Several paddle boarders reportedly came to their rescue before they hopped back on their kayak and rode back to shore. None of the kayakers suffered injuries. One lost her car keys and they had to shake a bunch of fish out of their shirts.
