IMAGINE you're out surfing and a whale drops-in.
That's what happened to one surfer at Lennox Head recently, and the moment was captured by
Sydney photographer Daniel Cook.
The amazing footage shows Brydes whales and dolphins swimming among bait fish at Seven Mile Beach when they begin to interact with surfers.
Mr Cook told the Daily Mail he filmed the whales by chance on a road trip to Byron Bay.
"It was just amazing to see how the surfers came into contact with the whales,' Mr Cook said.
"I got footage of a surfer trying to catch a wave but one of the whales undercut him so he had to let it go."
It's not the first time whales have dropped in for a visit to North Coast beaches.
In 2019, photographer David Bryant was volunteering at Byron Lighthouse when he snapped a photo of an Omura's whale surfing a wave near the headland.
