A New Zealand kayaker became a viral sensation after a seal hit him in the face with an octopus. A GoPro video camera has captured all the difficulties.

Mulinder stated that he had immediately drawn attention to the video and had been recognized while he was heading towards the Network 10 interview. "My driver Uber, who comes from us bring here, say "you're the guy, you're the octopus guy," Mulinder told Network 10.

Mulinder said that he was a professional of the GoPro and that, thanks to his new fame on the Internet, he wanted to draw attention to the location of the octopus. "Kaikoura is a very special place and after the earthquake, this city is beautiful, it was a beautiful earthquake before the earthquake and after the earthquake," he said.

As for his secret to viral success, Mulinder has a simple answer: "Just go get slapped by an octopus, it's not that difficult."
