But unless you fall out of the kayak, you shouldn't have to worry. I haven't read about gators taking kayakers.
In SW Florida, I looked out my window and saw a canoe going by in the water. A gator was trying to bite the end of it. Lots of gators lived on a wee island nearby and were exceptionally huge. I think they got irritated by all the boat traffic and it was Spring...mating time. The guy got away and I never saw him out there again. Some gators are bigger than kayaks.
