I have no time for people who canoe and kayak right up to whales – leave them be, they don’t need to be harassed.
In defence of kiteboarder Andrei Grigoriev, I don’t think he had a clue what was coming his way when out for a ride off Crissy Field Beach in California.
The 36-year-old said he had never even seen a whale before the chance encounter, reports NZ Herald:
Explaining the situation, Andrei said: “I was going straight out from the beach when something touched my board from below.
“For another 15 second I had a feeling there was something around me, until the whale jumped out of the water right in front of me.
“The scene was completely accidental.”
See your yourself:
I’m going to believe the guy.
Quite a first sighting, right?
