We also have an amazing drone video of dolphins that are showing local surfers who really rule the waves. A must watch. Enjoy!

Today’s video
Today’s video is simply amazing. It was shot by Richard Melvill and shows dolphins surfing the waves of Umdloti Beach in Durban, South Africa. I can only imagine what a sight that must have been for the local surfers in the water. Although by the looks of the video, they seemed unfazed. Maybe this happens all the time?
