Giant squid sightings are extremely rare, but one paddleboarding couple had a close encounter with a patrolling Kraken while out on the open water.

The man noticed the injured squid and tied a rope to it and tow it closer to shore. It wasn’t aggressive, but  did latch it’s massive tentacles onto his board to catch a breather. It’s all fun and games until you get your skull crushed in a giant squid beak, bro.

The video shows the guy scrambling to figure out what to do as the flopping tentacles from the giant begin to take over his board.

Watch the freaky encounter:

Spotted an injured giant squid just behind the waves in Melkboss a while back and decided to try and get it to the beach. With @cristinafva and @wahinemich . #giantsquid #kraken #capetown #melkbosstrand #ocean #sup
