South African vs. giant squid

South African man knocked of his paddle board by giant squid.

Hint: If it's in the water and it's bigger than you, leave it alone.


For some reason I see the picture and think "hentai".

What would happen if the pus got him under?
Will it drown him first or peck him to death?

I've never heard of a person dying this way? Dunno
Either way, I would've shat combusta briks!

Likely would drown first.

There are some close calls documented with humbolts.

Never encountered giant squids.

My closest encounter was with a shark that swam under my board.

Poor thing. Needed help, and they decided to kill it. Though it may have been dying anyway. I'd have tried calling someone who knew about this kind of thing, and see if they could help, before I decided to beach it and dissect it.
