Ok, it was unplanned and he's yet to work out how to direct it, but the idea is definitely worth further study. As reported at the BBC here, he went out in his sea kayak to go fishing, caught himself a tope shark and then it towed him half a mile or so.
So what's it like being dragged out to sea by a shark in a little plastic kayak? "Fun" of course, though he did admit its nose "came to within inches of my sensitive parts."
Hmmm..... further research definitely required into the safety implications of this form of propulsion.

The shark swims freely in the stream
past paddlers and punters
kayaks and canoes
ferrymen and fishermen.
He doesn't hate boats
He merely has no use for them
and he goes past them.

Another cracker, O'Docker. I can just see that continue.....

than a tough laser sailor

with a reel tale to tell
and a real tail to tell it with.
