6/3/2004: Surfers and dolphins
Where this came from I'm not exactly sure, but naturally, I'm vainly trying to keep alive the "dolphin or shark" argument. |

Dolphins are smart.
I wonder if they learned that behaviour from watching the surfers, or if they have been doing it for millenia? I do know they have been playing in ships' bow waves for centuries. |

Doesn't it seem like the wave and the dozen or so dolphins are about to crash on top of those surfers?

Duuuuuude!
Where was this picture taken? I've heard stories about surfing w/ dolphins from Hawaii and California, but the water looks a little clear to be SoCal. But the wetsuits do indicate the colder Pacific rather than the Keys and the like. Or maybe those are just rash guards, can't tell.

It was sent to me with no additional information! So I really don't know.

I wonder how far in the dolphins get? I'm surprised they're not in danger of whacking against the bottom or getting beached.

I guess if I could talk to dolphins, that would be pretty cool. This picture also reminded me of the Simpson's episode where the Dolphins took over Springfield. That was pretty funny.

I got that picture once in an email too, it seems to have been out there for awhile.
Can't you just picture the Dolphin's saying "Naa Naa Na Ne Naa Naa!" in Dolphese or whatever they speak? Hey how about a kiss? |

This happens a lot over here in Manly (Oz). I'm forever watching dolphins frolic around in the surf. It's the most wonderful thing to see. This time of year you can see them quite clearly playing with the surfers, the water is just so clean and clear just like looking through glass. It's just the best feeling watching them play.

Yeah, this happens quite often in Australia, it's still great any time you experience it though! There is of course the split second where you think to yourself "Sweet! A dolphin - or maybe its a shark...nope, definitely dolphin"
It's also a spin out when your body-surfin with a mate, you both catch a wave, you look to the side to see how he's goin and he's gone, in his place a big shiny grey mammal. |

I've actually swum with sharks in a Surf Carnival, couldn't get out of the water fast enough. They were a pack of hammer head sharks just cruising around looking for some fun. Actually it's happened a few times. |

That's a bit much for me Leah, I don't like sharks too much. One has to respect them for being the killing machines they are but swimming with them? No thanx, I'll leave that up to the reality show contestants.
