@ Wayne Cameron Yeah I have seen so many comments about how terrible zoos are, feeling bad animals are in cages for their life. But like, would you rather be in a comfortable cage with free food and water, or be sent to die in the wild because they are either captive bred or injured/previously injured??
Right? Orcas are usually ruthless to every other animal in the ocean... But it's funny that they tolerate humans and they're able to tell the difference between us and their food(seals)... from an apex predator standpoint, these human surfing should have had an attack or two on them, mother orcas usually train their calves how to hunt seals on shorelines... But it's always amazing that orcas never harm humans in these situations..
You are right about what you said about them and dolphin also protect pretty good and they kind of have a long nose that would be like a good punch also not like a orcas they are bigger and some of them turn them around and they drown the sharks that way because when they are on their back they become lifeless in a way and if you keep them under water for too long they are drowning orcas are not stupid and agressif like people think that they are

You know, that is a most superb point. Upon reflection, yes of course mom would not bring baby around any danger, so that teaches surfers are safe. And if surfers were food, she would have shown baby that. Plus they got a little neutral play time in the surfers' presence, so nothing but good associations. Wow. Thank you for that.
That's exactly what we're seeing... Mother orcas train their calfs how to hunt for seals along shorelines and serfs like in this video. But it's always amazing that whenever there's human's out surfing the waves or swimming in the ocean, orcas never harm or misteak us for their food source. And again we're seeing a mother instead of hunting, she is swimming the surf with the humans, teaching her baby that humans are not food.
Looks like two Orcas were just passing close by in their way, when they decided to do a few surfing passes in front of the Boys, just to show off and continue down the road...
Orcas are the coolest animals on the planet. The smartest too. The only time I've ever heard of an orca even coming close to hurting a human was their "trainers".... God bless the Orca, "Kings and Queens of the Sea"
Port and starboard should have been killed! The fact that they ran the great white sharks away from south Africa is pathetic! A whole industry suffered because of those two greedy Orcas!
This is really refreshing to see, just some beautiful Orcas having some fun in the wild, hanging out with some humans. Magnificent creatures. They belong in the wild, not at SeaWorld...
I think they probably were checking if the people in black wet suits were seals. That is what they eat. Difference is orcas are so smart they knew the surfers were not seals and then left, whereas as dumb sharks would have bitten somebody.
@@vaskylarktheir senses would have told them that it was a bunch of humans far out of camera view. They didn't come to check to see if they were seals. Also not all Orca groups eat marine mammals just like not all humans eat cattle.

The mama possibly was bringing the baby in to teach it something, that something might have been surfing or to teach it about human Surfers. This is not an unusual behavior among orcas no matter how you spin it. Whatever the reason, it wasn't because they needed to verify if they were SEALS or not. They knew from quite a distance that it was just a bunch of humans. That baby was not super young and it would most likely have known the difference between a human and a seal long before I got to this size and also from quite a distance. I of course would like to think they were surfing and it did appear to be that way. They took a break from whatever they were doing to have a little fun and check out the silly primates.
I once saw a pod of dozens or maybe hundreds of large porpoises swimming by in the evening while I was surfing. It took a few minutes for all of them to pass by.
@Kris De Roo Yes in many years of surfing, I only experienced this one time. But they were really long. I believe longer than 10 feet. They were not normal dolphins. Possibly there was some mixing of dolphins and some other species, but some were noticeably different from a dolphin.
I was swimming at the mount in NZ caught a wave in and a pod with calf swam past me 2 metres away. Awesome to see but man you do crap yourself that close to something so huge.
I don't feel like the orca was totally into it just realizing that it was kind of small and mushy. Seriously. Great footage. That's what I love about surfing is when stuff like this happens.
Here in San Diego California, the Sunset Cliffs/Ocean Beach area when we surf the point quite often pods especially when it’s overhead surf right next to us or as were boating out the swim right next to our skiff. It’s so awesome. Typically they are around during fall.
We would have pods of surfing Dolfins and Pilot whales when we surfed Huntington. The Donfins were actually surfing the same wave. That was always an extra thrill

@@joesephkroll2056 Just playing rough perhaps. And imagine a rotweiler in a Ford Transit all its life, not wanting to bite the guy, who put him in there...
I wouldn't say "countless documented saves," more like stories. I can think of a few examples of "saves" but we don't really know what the whales are doing. I love hearing about these instances though, and part of me believes them.
The waves carry them the same way they carry us. They can swim faster in a wave and they genuinely seem to enjoy it and they like people. Just the 2 top of the food chain mammals enjoying a nice wave together. Super cool and smart they know to bail early and not Ride it all the way in.
35 - 40 yrs ago l was surfing in my C1 Slalom Canoe down at " Cat Bay " Philip Island Victoria Australia with my Canoing Club Mates. Spring or Summer? While going down a decent size wave this "Fin" popped up from know where. I "pooed" my pants.. Nah that didn't happen. Thought it was a Shark. Dolphins a pod of tbem decided 2 Surf the Waves with us 4 the Day. What a joy it was 2 interact with nature's truly fabulous creatures. Would ❤ 2 head down there again all these yrs later 4 another day with them. 😀😀👌👍
Yeah! I learned to surf at Cat Bay. I pooed my pants too when a seal popped up next to me one day at Right Point just next door to Cat Bay. He was just saying Hi!
You know what's amazing is that those two orcas and other Orca pods usually swim shorelines and Surfs for seals to hunt and eat... But it's funny how these orcas aren't doing anything to these humans... From an apex predator standpoint all these guys surfing should be considered "Whale food"... But again it's amazing how orcas are able to tell the difference.
Beautiful moment between two very different species. Both respected each space, and did not panic. To me it appears the whales were feeding and decided to surf with the humans. A great memory for the surfers. Not to get off track but "killer whale" is not a respectable name for a beautiful mammal. I believe they are sometimes called "KILLER" from the fact they hunt they're food , and not filter feeders like the biggest whales.
I live a bit further up the Wellington coast from this bay and heard folk saying that the surfers definitely did see them (there) at the time, baring in mind this footage doesn't show the rest of the orca pod that was also there at the time. I've been lucky enough to have them pop up next to me (a couple of times) over the years, once whilst ocean swimming and once whilst diving. They're very curious and definitely like to check out what you're up to, but (thankfully) they also seem to have an inherent knowledge that we're not for eating.... or even a bit of inquisitive nibbling. :) TBH they're mostly concerned with teaching their babies how to flip stingrays for a supplementary diet technique.

That's an awesome experience that I've never had while out in the lineup, I'm not sure how I would react. If it wanted me I'm not sure any reaction I would have would help.
They are dangerous, in fact they're the most alpha of alpha apex predator in the oceans, they literally have no predators barring us but we're no threat to them (well, most of us).
They watched the surfers and decided to do the same, enjoying the moment, the calf not so expert and the mom making a small and easy exhibition. These creatures are... amazing/wonderful.
Those animals have such a respect for us... theres tons of peaceful interactions.. they come, say hi, play a little and go on their way. I hope humanity never loses their respect because if we do...
I was surfing once at the Melros boat ramp in Western Australia, and I was surprised to see the reef sticking out of the water. Even more surprised when I realized it wasn't a reef but a whale. It just swam off and I surfed on. Unfortunately I was out there alone, and most don't believe my story when I tell them.

That's so cool! What a great break. You can paddle out right beside it!❤
That should negate some myths about Orcas being dangerous, I reckon listeners ought to be afraid of the man on the mike?!
They are dangerous, in fact they're the most alpha of alpha apex predator in the oceans, they literally have no predators barring us but we're no threat to them (well, most of us).
That is so cool, great footage.
I'd feel a lot safer with orcas in the water especially after they have their shark liver breakfast.
Fabulous footage.. watched it heaps
Thanks to all helping the balance feel peaceful and undisturbing.
They watched the surfers and decided to do the same, enjoying the moment, the calf not so expert and the mom making a small and easy exhibition. These creatures are... amazing/wonderful.
What an incredible experience...
Ace! Commentary awesome. Thank you.
This is the best vid I`ve ever seen an Orca surfing with the boys ahhahah
🇷🇺💐
Is this the best commentary on you tube?! What a video, awrsome
Glad the orcas where there to show those crap surfers how it's done!
So cool. I had to watch it several times. The Wellington surfers seem oblivious to the orcas.
They r so beautiful
Those animals have such a respect for us... theres tons of peaceful interactions.. they come, say hi, play a little and go on their way. I hope humanity never loses their respect because if we do...
I was surfing once at the Melros boat ramp in Western Australia, and I was surprised to see the reef sticking out of the water.
Even more surprised when I realized it wasn't a reef but a whale. It just swam off and I surfed on. Unfortunately I was out there alone, and most don't believe my story when I tell them.
Melros 🤙
Cool. Those dolphins are such kooks! :)
This is so rad 😂🤘
Looks like the orca understands what surf Is all about. Amazing
...."Orcas surfing with surfers"..... more like staking out these weird seals on mini icebergs
Wonderful!
