Is there a right of way protocol for surfing? I’ve never lived near an ocean nor surfed, so I have no experience with this. I would assume there’s some standard, no?

That’s totally a warning. This is their break, and dropping in is so not cool.

To me the interesting thing is that while it looks perfectly deliberate, the dolphin also chose give him a shoulder check rather than just spear him with his beak as dolphins are known to do to sharks. The dolphin was looking to tweak him but not to hurt him.

Maybe he was an old dolphin, and this was his version of “Stay off my lawn, you damned kids!”

Usually when dolphins attack, they’re careful to leave no witnesses.
Yep. Never trust an animal that grins all the time.
