Watch: A Dolphin just knocked a paddle boarder off his board... and now we can't stop laughing!

That cheeky sea mammal didn’t want to miss out that extra 100 points.

 

A paddle boarder in Gracetown, Western Australia, has been filmed in a unique encounter with some of the ocean’s friendliest creatures.

“Waiting to film surfers when Lucas noticed a pod of dolphins that appeared to be chasing fish,” the video description reads.

“The pod of about 20 dolphins then turned to catch a wave, when one dolphin jumped out of the water and knocked Stand Up Paddle Boarder Andrew Hill off his board with a nice bump!”

Many people believe this was a friendly “prank” by the dolphin.

“I worked with dolphins for a summer internship and I am entirely certain this was intentional,” a commentor wrote. “I’m also fairly confident it was not meant aggressively otherwise the dolphin would have hit rostrum (nose) first which can cause serious injury.”

“They are super mischievous and often do things/make up games for the fun of it. They even seem to enjoy causing vexation.”

This makes it so much better. Watch the video below:
