If i happened to be in a black wet suit... around a KILLER whale, i dont think i would be hanging out in the water. It would probably look like someone strapped a big block on the board and i probably wouldnt stop paddling until i was back at the truck!

Sometimes you got to wonder what goes through peoples minds. Black wet suits and a board paddleing looks just like food for the Orcas. I notice the surfers did not leave the water very quickly. I'll sum it up in one word. IDIOTS

I don't think I'd worry too much about the Orca's, they're pretty darn smart. I've been in the water with them and never seen any aggressive behavior towards humans, black suit or not. I'm pretty darn sure there are no documented Orca attacks on humans. It's very cool to watch them herding their prey along the beach, what we didn't see was their buddies laying wait for the seals/sealions coming their way.
