Moment whale body-slams wingfoiler at Sydney beach

Guardian News published this video item, entitled “Moment whale body-slams wingfoiler at Sydney beach” – below is their description.

“I thought I was gone”

James Breen was wingfoiling at Mona Vale beach in Australia when a humpback whale soared out of the water and landed on top of him, dragging him about 20 to 30 feet below the surface. His GoPro captured the dramatic moment on camera.

As he wrestled underwater, he said he could feel the smooth skin of the whale, leading him to believe it was a juvenile. After his leg rope snapped, he clawed his way back to the surface and made his way to the shore safely.
