Footage recorded by Jason Breen shows the moment a whale emerges from the water

n Australian man said he survived a “one in a million” incident after being knocked off his surfboard by a breaching whale.

Footage recorded by Jason Breen shows the moment a whale emerges from the water and knocks the 55-year-old wing surfer off his board.

Breen told local media that he feared for his life when the animal dragged him down by the board leash attached to his leg.

“Luckily, I felt the leash break and from there I got released from under the whale’s body and was able to come to surface and thank my lucky stars that something that’s not supposed to break broke and ringed the webbing out,” Breen told Today.

“The whole thing was unusual, one in a million – it’s a massive ocean and there was a guy on a headland who just happened to be filming by coincidence and my GoPro, I wasn’t pointing or filming so to get the footage was amazing,” Breen said.
Breen was uninjured and able to return to dry land following the incident.
