Ka-POW!!! So funny, but man that dolphin really sucker punched the poor guy.

That is the price any surfer should pay for paddling out through the take-off zone.
There have been several times when I would have liked to do the same to the self-absorbed and oblivious.

That guy should sue the dolphin.

Absolutely! He could claim it was a specist (big step worse than racist) attack, and blame it on the Russians!

Charges include…
Attack with a deadly mammal and Failure to indicate before leaping.
The guys on Australian TV in an hour or so.
If he’s Japanese I’ll laugh.

film it with your phone bro, we wanna see this lol!!!

Here’s a link to the News programs Facebook page. They usually post the whole segment.

They’ll probably keep that segment until the very end of the show.

And your pic is upside down because it’s from Australia? :wink:

The guy says he was able to ‘dodge the dolphin’ but it looks pretty clear that he was slapped down by a big flying mullet.

Even the dolphins hate sweepers.

Any local surfer would do the same when someone comes sweeping into the line up.
+5 to the dolphin

Poor guy, knocked the crutch right out of his hand.
