Wow!

Hope my wife doesn't see this, she already worries about sharks everytime I surf

Boz · 11-04-2011, 12:28 PM

Holy ****!

They sure didn't react much to it!

That would cure me of any urge to surf for at least a month.

It's usually these photos that cure my urge to surf for a month...

Humpbacks eat plankton, so no real danger of getting eaten

Ya, I didn't really see anyone getting "almost swallowed" at all. Sure, it was a close encounter, but I didn't see any threat to anyone. This is still a cool video.

Oh I see a threat, unintentionally, if someone's too close and the whale pops up and then dives back under again. A kayaker could get capsized, or get sucked underwater due to the sheer mass of the whale. Those things are HUGE! Even the newborn calves are nothing to sneeze at. I woulda freaked out big time; how often does someone get a chance to see something like that up close?

Of course, I'm a Midwesterner. I get excited whenever I see dolphins offshore when I'm walking down the beach somewhere in FL or GA or wherever.
