What an insane moment to capture on video! You can only imagine what was going through this paddle boarder's head.

Would you turn around and head back into the opposite direction, or would you try and observe this massive mammal?

It's truly an amazing experience to witness something that you would otherwise never see while you are exploring the open sea. People often fear sea creatures even though they pose no real threat because of what is unknown. But none the less, this is still an insane video!
