ELI5: Why dont orcas (killer whales) see humans as food and attack swimmers/paddleboarders/ kayaks etc? Humans are the same size as most of their prey but them seem to mostly ignore us?

From what i understand about killer whales is that individual pods tend to have specific diets and hunting tactics passed down through the generations. Since humans are not consistently in killer whales hunting areas they wouldnt have developed a "taste" for humans or the tactics to hunt them. Thats obviously not to say they couldnt, they just have no reason to.
