A baby seal delighted surfers off the coast of California after climbing onto their boards during an unexpected encounter near Tourmaline Beach in San Diego, US. Footage from June 2023 shows the curious pup hopping between boards, seemingly unfazed by people. SeaWorld experts later confirmed the seal was healthy and old enough to fend for itself. One surfer described the moment as unforgettable, calling it “the most beautiful thing” they had ever experienced.
