You have to watch this video. These folks almost ended up like a true life moby dick

They were only feet away from the right fin - they were lucky

Too close for my comfort.

That is too cool.  The whales swim around the baitfish blowing bubbles in circles getting tighter and tighter, to condense the baitfish.  Then, at a coordinated time they lunge together from below and whack em!   

Cool video

I understand about getting close to the action, but a surfboard may be a little small for observing such a magnificent mammal. These people deserve what happens to them. No sympathy here..
