RE: Shorebreak Sessions #5: Undisclosed location, Western Australia + DOLPHIN ENCOUNTER!
Beautiful photos and can never be a greater feeling than surfing with dolphins. I just love moments when dolphins come to visit us surfing :) I can imagine the fear of thinking it is a shark, happened a few times to myself and I actually paddled to shore. I researched about the fins of dolphins and sharks. Dolphins have a distinct curved fin and the shark has a straight fin like a triangle. Probably hard to tell from a distance like in your case ;)
That's right man, 9/10 its a dolphin, and with sharks the ones your see are ok.
It's the ones you don't that get ya ;)
I surf at dusk a lot, when I am with other surfers it is ok. When I am by myself, I sometimes get a eery feeling, I get out ahaha. I feel safer in the early mornings for some reason ;) been a few attacks around the area of late, it is in the back of my mind. They tend to happen in the river systems more often.
