Surfing enthusiasts often have the chance to hang out with friendly marine mammals like dolphins when out on the sea. These sentient creatures are frequently seen around humans because they like making conversation. Even if they don’t use words to convey their message, the way they present themselves is always received as kind. As a result of the dolphin’s relatively harmless nature, these species are also sworn enemies of the lethal predator sharks. Surfers might feel secure in their presence as a result.

USA TODAY posted a beautiful 30-second clip on Facebook showing a pod of dolphins playing behind a group of surfers. Due to the exciting nature of the video, it quickly gained popularity quickly.

The video is barely 30 seconds long, but thanks to these lovely and clever animals, it has managed to gain a lot of attention. Dolphins of a certain pod were seen at Byron Bay, Australia. The sighting of a pod of dolphins, in close proximity to a human population, is not unprecedented. Dolphins are smart animals that are capable of complex behaviors and are also often regarded as being quite jovial. The video shows a string of waves, with a few happy surfers riding them. Nevertheless, a pod of dolphins was seen enjoying their own session in the waves, behind the surfers.

The dolphins could be seen breaching out of the water, and diving back in with the beat of the music in the video. In the video, a surfer on a yellow surfboard can be seen trying to ride what seems to be a little wave, but getting wiped out. Despite that, they take pleasure in watching the dolphins play. Even the other surfers in the video stopped to appreciate these amazing animals. In the caption of the video, USA TODAY wrote, “30 seconds of gleeful vibes as this dolphin pod caught waves with surfers in Australia.”

Who doesn’t love watching playful dolphins?

It didn’t take long for the post to gain traction among admirers of heartwarming videos. People pounced onto the comment area to share their thoughts on the soothing video.
