One time I was sailing off the end of South rd Brighton,about a km off the beach,heading out and a big white turned up about 20m downwind and cruised along next to me for a while.


What's a big white?


Brighton.... hmmm... Maybe it was an SUV?

Dropped a gybe and stepped on something big and fleshy under the water. Big enough to support my weight as I jumped back on my board. Gave me the biggest fright of my life. I didn't look back!

That was about a km off Beaconsfield Parade around Summer '03/'04.

Back in the early 90s I was sailing at Gnotuk on a light win day on the old Bombora Big Toy and followed a pod of dolphins. The pod split in to 2 and swam away from each other for several minutes before joining up again. When they came together again they were breaching with several getting completely airborne. They swum up the coast and repeated this about 5 times. It is the only time I have seen this happen and have never been so close to dolphins in the wild doing jumps that I only thought happened in dolphin freak shows.


same thing happened to me at Big Left except that I was surfing alone and the first thing I saw was this big grey thing comming straight at me, then it turned and breached out of the wave, moments later a pod came through playing in the waves and just me there to see it
