Must Watch: Dolphin Launches Onto WA Grom

Wait for it.

Watch it once, then watch it again! We’ve all shared waves with our fellow marine mammals. Or watched them swim by, breaching the surface and thought, wow, what majestic creatures. And, in grade school, when the what animal would you like to be question was raised, dolphins were always a favourite. And, when asked the same as adults, dolphins are hot…maybe it’s the sex for pleasure thing. But, here’s a rare occurrence in West Oz with the young ripper, Jed Gradisen and the dolphin that propelled towards him like a submarine missile prepping for the third world war. Jed escaped, barely. And the dolphin’s beak punched through his board. “He was just as shocked as I was,” laughed an unscathed Mr Gradisen (who proper rips by the way). “His nose went straight through the board, that must have hurt a bit.”
