That sinking feeling! Fisherman has a narrow escape as speedboat hurtles straight towards his tiny kayak

  • The GoPro footage was recorded off the coast of Dania Beach in Florida
  • Quick-thinking, unnamed man uses an air horn to deter the oncoming vessel
  • Speedboat comes within a few feet of the kayak but narrowly avoids a collision

A quick-thinking kayaker had a lucky escape after he used an air horn to deter an oncoming boat that was hurtling towards him.

The GoPro footage was recorded off the coast of Dania Beach in Florida.

The unnamed man had gone fishing in the choppy waters when the speedboat began to head in his direction.

In the video, the man can be seen wearing a white top and baseball cap with fluorescent yellow shorts and leggings.

Something in the distance catches his attention and he moves with a start while keeping hold of a fishing rod in his right hand.

He scrabbles around in the bottom of his kayak with his free hand and picks up a red air horn as the wind rocks him from side to side.

He raises his arm and pushes down on the button to sound a warning but the speedboat continues to hurtle towards him.

He jumps up to his feet and lifts his arms above his head in a panic before blasting the horn again repeatedly.

The ripples of waves that the boat has left in its wake crash into the kayak nonetheless as the man drops back down into his seat
