I was having and arve sesh in some so so waves with about 4 others, and on my second one I see a fin just in front of me but a bit behind the swell.
Then this dolphin breaches on my wave about 10 metres in front of me
I talk'n full breach with half twist, degree of difficulty, 8.5.
Another guy is paddling out towards me so he's just as gob smacked as me, all I can do is grin and point at it and the other guy is just laughing his tits off.
Haven't stopped smilling since then, and that was about 2.5 hours ago.
I wish I had bothered to put in my contacts before I went out
it would have looked even better
it would have looked even better. Was maybe 15 years ago but always remeber it, never seen anything like it..
Had a dolphin experience back in July, 4 large and 1 baby playing nearby. My buddy had the best treat, the baby came very close while paddling out. I saw all 4 surfing just under the wave several times. Feels like your birthday when something like that happens.
yep those dolphins are cool as... i just wish i was faster,,, my tinned tuna has not tasted as nice since they took the dolphin out
Nice one obct....I love it when the dolphins come to play. I have never been dropped in on but have definitely seen a few whilst paddling back out at close quarters. They are so big yet agile. A joy to watch. Glad your day off had such a nice experience.
This is still one of the best shots I have ever seen. If I had been in the water I would probably have been ****ing myself whilst sitting still too scared and overjoyed to move. Dolphins rock.
dolphins !
like the cockroach of the ocean around here!
same category as whales for me
i like em but i couldn't eat a whole one!
Nice one obct, I posted a similar experience here earlier in the year it leaves you on a natural high for a long time after.
Just another reason to enjoy the ocean.
a mate and myself were getting ready to duck dive once when we saw 4 dolphins riding the wave coming straight at us. they were on top of the water too
we did the only right thing and froze like deer in front of headlights
i did see heaps of whales at bribe island yesterday
lacey you would have loved it...lines and lines of just over knee high waves right through the bay,it looked so sik
I just dropped in to board culture coffee is way better drop in just a free pimp to help sales

It must be my cetacean weekend, I was at the Bower this arvo and dirty great whale did a big breach about 150 metres in front of me.
I must admit that I was pretty relieved when I saw him because about 5 minutes earlier, there was a large flock of gulls hanging around, about 250 metres to the north of me and I glanced over just in time to see the water explode.
I knew there was something big over there, but I had no idea what it was.
Neat OB..... Real neat.
No such luck for me at Gerringong, but the surf was pretty decent.
Looking forward to Plomer though......
