This Clumsy Dolphin Brutally Body Slammed A Paddle Boarder Into The Water

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water… along comes a clumsy dolphin.

An American paddle surfer was brutally body slammed off his board after he unexpectedly ended up sharing a wave with a small pod.

Astonishing footage shows Matt Minich slowly drifting in waters off California’s Hermosa Beach.

But then three dark shadows suddenly appear under the crest of an approaching wave.

The trio of the adorable mammals seem to be racing each other as they come ever closer to Minich.

One then leaps high into the air - and unfortunately smacks straight into him.

The incredible footage was caught on Minich’s GoPro action camera, and has since gone viral after being uploaded online.

He insisted that none of the animals, or himself, were injured in the incident.
