Watch: Surfer discovers he’s not alone while dropping into wave

Australian surfer Wade Goodall is featured in a YouTube video showing that at nearly 38 years old and having suffered several major leg injuries, he’s still a phenomenal talent.

But what also stands out in the footage – and what’s being shared this week via social media – is a portion that begins at the 3-minute mark, when a dolphin positions itself directly below Woodall and rides the left-breaking wave in unison with Goodall.

Viewers can click here to watch the YouTube version. Below is the shorter Instagram version, courtesy of Surfline, along with the caption: “ ‘Thought you were going right!’ – Dolphin.”

Viewers will note that Goodall spots the dolphin almost immediately after standing up and a wonderful symmetry occurs during their brief ride.

Surfline followers obviously enjoyed the clip and the top comment was well received: “We are so damn lucky this is our chosen culture.”

The footage is credited to Milo Inglis.
