An Epic Whale of a Tail on the NSW South Coast! 🐋✨
Last week Brian Dance paddling his Epic V10 Sport about 1.5km off shore into his local bay had a sense, with camera out he witnessed a couple of massive breaches ahead in the distance, breathtaking breaches then the ocean went quiet.
Then came the real magic.
Driven by pure curiosity, this gentle giant swam straight over to say hello, hovering right alongside the ski to check things out. Moments like these remind us exactly why we chase the paddle on the open water.
There is truly nothing quite like the feeling of being completely connected to nature—and having the stability of the V10 Sport gave Brian the confidence to handle whatever the ocean threw his way to a front-row seat to the ultimate wildlife show. 🌊 🙌
Thanks to Brian for sending in this special video.
