Apparently the local surfers weren't worried enough to get out of the water.

Of course the big "not so cute" surf story was the guy whose face got impaled by a surfboard

ahhhh I cut me teeth surfing sandy bay, great spot on its day. Never seen Orcas in the surf before they would scare the crap out of me if they popped up in the lineup

Amazing photos! Thanks for sharing!
I reckon I would be heading for the beach at full speed if I saw one of those (and looking for a fresh pair of undies!)

Gizzie,
Amazing!
Are they your photos?
Did you see them?
They say we only get 13 recorded sightings of Orca's per year in Aussie waters. But you get them a bit more over there don't you?
I haven't seen an Orca in the wild yet, but it's on my Bucket List!

Great shots , watched a doco a liitle while ago about some poor orca in captivity that had killed i think three trainers , it now wallows in a small pool living out its last days.

Very sad humans feel the need to capture and imprison these types of animals for our so called entertainment.I find it interesting that orcas dorsal fins in captivity flop to the side and in the wild they stand tall and strong.Thats got to tell you something, i think.
