Bottlenose dolphins, like surfers, love to ride big waves – even if that means sharing the waves with surfers.
The accompanying footage, showing dolphins leaping next to surfers at Rincon near Santa Barbara, was shared Friday by Surfline, along with the clever intro:
“If you get dropped in on at Rincon, it was most likely on porpoise.”

Surfline used the footage, credited to Nick Liotta, as part of its prediction for more large surf to slam the region Saturday, courtesy of a powerful west-northwest swell.
The main surfer in the footage might have been Spencer Fanticola, who commented below the video: “Best wave of my life.”
