Whale Body-Slams Surfer in Unbelievable Encounter

TL;DR Summary
A surfer in Australia, known as "Jaws," captured a rare encounter on video when a whale body-slammed him while he was wing-foiling. The video shows the whale jumping out of the water and colliding with the surfer, knocking him off his board and dragging him 30 feet underwater. Fortunately, he escaped with minor injuries after his leash broke, allowing him to resurface. The surfer believes that if the whale had barnacles on its skin, the outcome could have been much worse.
