Paddleboarder body-slammed by dolphin
No surfer likes it when you drop into their wave, and apparently dolphins feel the same way.
Matt Minich and his friend Peter Nelson were paddleboarding off California’s Hermosa Beach when all of a sudden they got a surprise.
While Matt was paddling towards a wave, a dolphin launched itself out of the water and body-slammed him off his board.
Matt captured the whole thing on camera and posted it to his Facebook page.
“It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Top ten for sure,” Mr Minich wrote in the post.
“Fortunately no one was hurt.”
Dolphins are known are being truly incredible animals, here are some of their most magical moments.
