Share a video of your favorite dolphin, seal, whale, or porpoise.
I've yet to see one "live" but I'm always looking. :D

I have seen quite a few over the years, more sharks than others which include fish and dolphins but maybe because it is different this is my favortie (even if it is in the land down under)

Haven't seen any wildlife surfing but there are dolphins that hang around on a nice sunny day.

Boy, oh Boy! There were major surfing dolphins during the final heats in the Rincon Classic surf competition. These were large and nearly fat dolphins. They surfed like mad along with competing contest surfers and shoot out of the water doing rolls. They did this several times during Sunday's contests. It was magnificent!

One of the most joyful days in my short surfing life was a session in the German North Sea where we were joined by a group of porpoises while a few young seals were watching. Unfortuntately I have no pictures, but I will always remember it.

One of the most beautiful and yet terrifying animals surfing was a fairly large maybe 8 foot long shark body surfing sideways through the middle of a wave at a popular bodysurfing spot I was at. The wave had about an 8 foot face and the sun was shining and the water was clean and it was big and fast cruising sideways through the wave head down position. It was so frightening too and I went quickly in to the beach and turned around to look to see if it had eaten anyone. I found myself standing next to another guy who was also apparently looking to see if the shark had eaten anyone. "Did you see it?" "Yeah!" "Should we warn the others?" "NO. They will probably panic and splash around and make the shark more likely to see them as food." "Ok" We stood there waiting for another glimpse of the magnificent creature from a safe shoreline perspective but never saw it again so we went back to bodysurfing.
