Nah he tweaking.

Sealife is pretty dope. Sometimes it do be like scary tho. Srsly when you trynna wappah one of the crumble, sea life can like low key chill, K?

According to the filmer of this clip

“We saw heaps of splashing out to sea and thought it may of been a shark, so we kept our eyes peeled. Next thing, my mate James is surfing and all of a sudden a seal launches itself out of the water, dropping in on his wave and almost hitting him in the action.”

Haha, what a glorious pastime surfing is. Mother nature eh? Amazing.

Thought’s on this seal in the next Stab High?
