Known for their agility in the water, this sea lion took it one step further, by surfing a huge a wave. Taken on 22nd and 23rd August of this year, the incredible moment was seen just off the northern tip of Vancouver Island, Canada and made a real SPLASH with spectators. After waiting for a huge swell, the playful mammal rushed to catch the curling water, riding it for 50 to 100 metres before disappearing beneath the foam.
