Jaimen Hudson is a drone operator living in Esperance, Australia and recently shot this video of a local man paddle boarding with whales.
Hudson told ABC Australia:
“Dave Price who lives close by, was just making his way over to the whales on his stand-up paddle board and they were really inquisitive and came over to meet him…There was one time when the whales lifted their heads up looked up over Pricey’s board, they were so inquisitive and wanted to know what he was, I don’t think it was dangerous, the whales moved to where he was and the whole time they were very slow moving and peaceful. The reaction to this clip has been huge and I really enjoy doing it, so hopefully I can take it further one day.”
Peaceful, indeed:
