I'm in awe after watching this video. The whales are obviously intelligent, gentle, and cognizant when interacting with this paddleboarder. Amazing!

The sense of his body is crazy. Even as such a giant he knows exactly where he is and can control it's movements. Whales are true beauties

Southern right whales are extremely playful and friendly. They love getting near the boats when people go sightseeing, they bump them a little to play and stretch their fins and tails out. When they play with their babies they'd take this arch position? And babies will jump over them. And they sing and chat all along. I've been lucky enough to witness all this, they're so beautiful and lovely!

Imagine if humans were this gentle and respectful to the planet and all sentient beings!!! I can dream….

Kudos to the lady for staying calm! My heart would have jumped out of my chest!!

I would cry right after. We need to protect these beautiful and intelligent creatures for the next generations. We must protect them

Animals are far more intuitive than we give them credit for.
What beautiful moments for the lady on the board. She will carry the memory of that encounter forever

I would have passed out! She did a great job staying very calm. 🥰

This interaction was beautiful between the whale and paddle boarder and how gentle he was not at all aggressive even the friend that joined in wasn't.

I love the little push! It's so adorable to watch.

Gentle giants they know their strength and are so kind and playful to the little hoomans! Beautiful ❤🐋 🐋

It’s just really touching that it knows it needs to be gentle if it wants to play with a creature so much smaller than it is

[ari_peacock]

I don't know how she fought the urge not to touch it! Such a beautiful creature being so gentle! 🥰

[lifeaschronicallyingrid]

We have to protect what’s left of this magnificent and incredible creatures. What a beautiful interaction ❤ I’m in awe of how calm the paddle boarder was through this.

Sometimes I feel like whales are not really aware of how massive they are which goes to show how humble and gentle they are making them even more magical

Man your heartbeat increases when you see him closely and the size can be terrified you when you are on skateboard

I was kayaking off the coast of Cumbria UK once and a dolphin came along side and nudged the boat and gave me a look that seemed almost human, he/she then looked at me and I had the feeling it was looking into my very soul. It was an experience I will never forget.

I think we all agree that whales are the most forgiving species on this earth for being so gentle with us despite how cruel we are to them. This is truly a heartwarming video

[cydkriletich]

Beautiful. And the woman was so very respectful of those magnificent creatures. She only used the paddle when they were not directly around her board, likely to neither threaten them nor discourage the interaction. A fascinating and once-in-a-lifetime moment for this fortunate woman.

What for a privilege and honor to have been approached, so very gently and respectfully, by this magnificent being, this beautiful whale.
