Did not hit the kayak... the wave knocked them over.

Sack said the two were lucky to avoid a direct hit from the animal's massive body, as it could have proven fatal.
Apparently, the yak was hit and sustained light damage to the bow:
"om Mustill and Charlotte Kinloch were paddling off Monterey Bay in California when the whale suddenly breached and dragged them under water.
"It was above us and all I could see was this whale crashing towards us, blocking out the light. I thought, ‘Oh, I’m going to die now’”
Tom Mustill
"Onlookers feared the worst as the pair disappeared from view. Yet, remarkably, they were left without a scratch and the only damage was a small dent to the kayak’s bow. The extraordinary incident was captured on film by a passenger on a whale-watching boat."
