Surfing’s Got This Little Guy’s Seal of Approval

Mathew Stanley captured this GoPro footage of a baby seal climbing on his board and playing with him and a friend in the water.

We caught up with Matt to get the low down on what happened:

“Me and my friend Andrew Flounders were out enjoying some summer waves when this little guy came along and scared the hell out of Andy because we didn’t know what it was! It nudged his foot from underneath,” he explained.

After an hour or so of playing around with the pup, the guys decided to head back to the shore, but the little guy hadn’t finished and tried to follow them up the beach. “When we got home Andy rang the local marine wildlife authority to make them aware of what occurred just in case the seal was unwell… He didn’t seem unwell when he was surfing in like a pro!”
