Description
When surfers are out in the water surfing it's not unusual for them to see dolphins and seals swimming around them. What is unusual is for a seal to hall out of the water up onto the surfboards and that is what is happening at Tourmaline Surf Park where a seal pup is hanging out with surfers on their surfboards.
Tourmaline Surf Park is a great place for surfing, especially for longboarding.
Shawn spoke with Ed Hartel, a photographer and drone pilot, who was flying at Tourmaline, a noted place for surfing and especially for longboarding, and noticed something very unusual in the water.
"Four days ago, a baby seal pup was spotted, and I came down three days ago to see if he was still around," said Hartel.
That doesn't sound too unusual, but the next part is.
"Basically, he swims from board to board jumping on different surfers' boards. He'll sit there for five to 10 minutes and then paddle to another surfer's board and he does it all morning long," Hartel continued.
