Watch: Passers-by Capture a Pod of Dolphins Showing Off Incredible Surfing Skills

With temperatures ranging from 70–80° F, Australia experiences pleasant weather during this time of year. A stroll around the park or a walk on the beach is a preferred pass time just as the autumn sets in. Enjoying such weather, Sydneysiders were recently passing by a beach when a pod of dolphins decided to put up a show of skills. In what turned out to be a delightful experience, the dolphins showed off their acrobatic skills in the water as the passers-by captured them in the video.

Dolphins are nature’s wild surfers, and more often than not, they cross paths with surfers in oceanic waters. However, in this instance, they simply decided to show up on the shores of Bronte Beach in New South Wales, Sydney, and entertain their audience.

Dolphins are nature’s true entertainers

In a Facebook video shared by the Australian news channel 9News, one can see the aquatic wild surfers’ first moving under the water, before leaping out of it in a majestic manner. It was as if they had put up a Cirque du Soleil performance. The Facebook caption read, “Sydneysiders were treated to a fin-tastic sight at a popular eastern suburbs beach yesterday. A pod of playful dolphins could be seen surfing the waves and leaping out of the water”.

Bronte beach is particularly popular for its dolphin and whale sightings. Although this was in March, the sightings increase during winter months from June to August. The pleasant weather also plays a part in such sightings.

Another area specializing in dolphin sightings is Bondi beach which is in close proximity to Bronte beach. Bondi beach is a white-sand beach in Sydney, where walkers and joggers often frequent the coastal walk for a better, healthier lifestyle.

Dolphins share a lovely relationship with humans

In 2012, in an almost similar instance, surfers in the middle of the sea had to stop and watch a pod of dolphins. These creatures which move at a speed of 18 mph, had the surfers enthralled with their show in water. In a rare instance during a harsh winter, these adorable marine creatures also showed up at Byron Bay, New South Wales. Photographer Paul-Stanley Jones, in a delightful moment of his job, captured the dolphins in various poses.

Dolphins can jump up to 16 feet in the air. And some of them, like the bottleneck dolphins, can cruise at a speed of 7 mph making them one of the fastest creatures in the water. One of the smartest creatures, dolphins have also averted danger for surfers in the past from other vengeful creatures like sharks.
