Drone Captures Awesome Footage of 30 Dolphins Surfing At The Same Time
Science1 min read

An awesome video of 30 dolphins surfing together on one wave was recently captured by Dave Riggs from filmmaking company RiggsAustralia. We first saw the video posted by at the Adventure Journal.

The video was filmed with a quadcopter in south Western Australia. "Huge pods of bottlenose dolphins cruise the shoreline, surfing, playing and teaching their young how to forage amongst the crystal clear turquoise waters," husband and wife team Jennene and Dave Riggs wrote on their Vimeo page.

Check out an animation of the synchronized surf below, just in time for World Surfing Day on June 20.

See a full 30-second clip here. At 15 seconds, two dolphins vault out of the water into the air:
