Two kayakers
had the surprise of a lifetime when a massive humpback whale breached the sea
and jumped right on top of their boat.
The kayak
was pulled underwater, but fortunately, the two kayakers weren’t injured.
This amazing
collision occurred during a morning kayak ride outside the harbor at Moss
Landing in Monterey County, California. Many kayakers and rowers were out on
the water to witness a large group of humpback whales aggregating near the
harbor.
Whale breaches
like this are a breathtaking and rare sight — but no one was prepared for this.
Watch the amazing footage caught on video below:
This isn’t
the first time we’ve seen some amazing unexpected path-crossings between humans
and breaching whales. Just check out this video from a couple years ago showing
the moment when a large humpback whale literally lifts two kayakers out of the
water from under them. Amazing!
No it did not! You can tell it jumped next to them. Don't sensationalize things - they are more genuine when told as they occurred.
