Man had some terrifying encounters while travelling across ocean in see-through kayak

YouTuber Brodie came very close to a great white shark at one point during the video

A content creator has shared some of the weird and wonderful creatures he came across while venturing into the ocean in his transparent kayak.

YouTuber Brodie Moss, known as the leader of channel YBS, is an Australian content creator that makes videos on wildlife, nature and the ocean for his nearly eight million subscribers.

Having learnt to hunt for sea creatures on a tropical island, fish with the ancient method of a bow and arrow and explored the sea for rare species, it's fair to say the bloke is quite fearless in the wild.

So it makes sense then that in his latest upload, he has chosen to take his see-through kayak out to the ocean to see what he would run into.

Brodie begins the video by kayaking over a calm sea to check out the stunning sun rise.

The first sea animal that he runs into is a sea snake, which has a bigger body than normal, which he theorises is because it might just have eaten something.

Shortly after this, he then spots another sea snake, except half of it is missing - a predator has been around, but he doesn't know which one.

As he continues on his adventure, in true Finding Nemo style, Brodie runs into a large turtle, which is swimming very near the surface, as he observes it through his transparent kayak.

Rowing alongside it, the social media personality exclaimed: "I thought it was a bit of rubbish! Hello!"

Drone footage horrifyingly caught a colossal sea creature that swam below him at the same time though, in something that surely would have caused a reaction if he noticed at the time.

He did bizarrely notice a number of whales swimming around him though, whom he joyfully greeted as they swam near him, and he continued to capture their movements with his drone.

But this wasn't the most spectacular thing he saw at sea, as he saw one of the most terrifying creatures out there - the Great White Shark.

Brodie joked that the shark saw his 'juicy booty' through the transparent kayak and made its way to him, as it 'had its eyes' set on the YouTuber.

With a bit of fear in his voice, he clarified it was a Great White, filming it with his GoPro by putting his arm under water.

Where most people would make a beeline for the nearest island, he stayed and observed the shark.

Highlighting that he was 'being stalked by a Great White', Brodie suggested that he was more curious than in the mood to hunt, given that he didn't try to chomp on his kayak.

After calling the situation 'scary' more than once, Brodie admitted: "I don't want to push my luck any more than this, he's getting a bit more rowdy so I want to bail now," as the shark started following him.

Brodie did explain that finding a Great White in this area was a rarity, and he presumably got back to safety.

Users praised Brodie's bravery at sea, as one user said: "How that kayak keeps Brodie & his balls of steel afloat is beyond me."

Another commented: "I don’t how you get so lucky with animal encounters but they are always incredible."

A third joked: "That's crazy. That Great White Shark has no idea how lucky he was to be so close to that Australian!"
