Dolphins Catch Waves with Local Surfers in South Africa

19:00 GMT 28.06.2017 (Updated: 13:25 GMT 29.06.2017)

Lucky surfers enjoying the waters at KwaZulu-Natal’s Umdloti Beach in South Africa were in for a surprise when a huge pod of dolphins decided to join the guys in catching a few waves.

According to Richard Melvill, it was all thanks to his girlfriend, who spotted the wave trailing dolphins along the surf.

"I was so stoked to capture this," Melvill told local outlet Northglen News. "I was just in the right place at the right time."

While the area is known for dolphin spotting, it’s also a popular destination for whale watching – could you imagine if Melvill caught a whale hanging 10 in the background as well?!

Here’s hoping!
