Everyone has heard about sharks attacking surfers, but whales? Aussie kitesurfer David Sheridan was minding his own business when he was struck on the back of the head by a whale tail.
Sheridan wasn't aware of the whale underneath the surface, but his sail-mounted camera caught a glimpse of the huge creature as he surfed over it. With frames taken every 10 second, it caught the scene just before the slap.
"It was more of a push than a punch. I expected more," the kitesurfer said.
A spokesman for the National Parks and Wildlife Services said the whale may have had a calf or might have been reacting to the movement on the surface.
"He's very lucky. He's still here to tell the story," Jeff Ross said.
"People have been killed by coming into contact with those flukes or at the very least have ended up with broken arms and legs... It's like being hit with a boat at full speed."
The incident happened near Nambucca Heads in NSW Australia. read more about it here.
