Paddling with Dolphins - SUP Surf Video
« on: August 15, 2016, 01:07:34 PM »
Way cool!  First time I have been in the water for this long with dolphins and been able to record the whole experience.  Usually they surprise me and then are gone just as quick as they appeared.  This day they hung around for about 10-15 minutes, an amazing experience.  I almost didn't bring a camera, and then my brother in law said something as we were heading out the door so I grabbed it.  :)

Cool.  A couple came in close to Sharks yesterday into the kelp bed.  I feel safer when they are around for some reason, like they are guardian spirits.

Nice! Always good company! I love dolphins. They are and always have been my favorite sea mammal. We get quite a few here in NJ starting around mid spring. They hang around until about mid Oct then head south for the winter. My SOLOSHOT captured a few near me this summer. I wanna pet one!

One could go into a mall in Kansas and ask a teenager "What is a surfer looking for?, and the answer will always be, "The perfect wave"

Clay- is that Pacifica? Used to longboard there in my SF days.  Looked familiar

I've seen more dolphins here in NJ this year than ever before...by a very wide margin. No idea why. But seems like way way more than usual

Thanks Carl, yeah I do too.  A guy I know had a session in Monterey a few years ago where dolphins were swimming directly towards him and then veering off at the last second.  Later that week someone was attacked by a shark at the same spot.  He thought the Dolphins were probably warning/protecting him and trying to tell him to get out of the water.

Thanks Marc, yeah I wanna pet one also.

Thanks night wing.

Jerz yeah that's the spot, we have eddy south winds this summer so Pacifica hasx been side/off shore quite often.  Right on.

Cool stuff.  We have a couple of pods down here and I have a guy with a scared fin that I have shared the waves with several times.

Last time they came around a few weeks ago all the vacationers yelled shark and were franticly screaming at me to get out of the water.  ::)
