It is always a buzz to have the sea life around when your surfing. I got a visit from some dolphins the other day and as usual, they made my heart skip a beat or two until I cinfirmed they were not sharks.
I would love to get close to some whales, it must have been amazing!

Hey Peasey, welcome to the forums! Maybe we've seen each other out at Maroubra. I'm the guy on the 9'3 Naish and the black Gath.

Yep, a solo paddle is never really a solo paddle!

I have been doing quite a bit of paddling on my own in Jervis Bay and I see dolphins all the time. What amazes me is that it still puts a great big childish grin on my face every time!

Last Thursday I was with this pod of about a dozen or more dolphins for nearly an hour (I followed behind them for the first half hour, never really able to catch up to them, then they slowed down along the front of Callala Beach village & I ended up right in the middle of the pod for the next 45mins). They are such inquisitive creatures and on several occasions, individuals swam right up to me and under my board. It was harder than you think to get this on film though!

Take a look!


PS- What was supposed to only be a 5-6km paddle ended up being 10km as I lost track of how far I had gone while I was enjoying the moment!
