A kiteboarder hit an unexpected speed bump when he bounced off a humpback whale twice while surfing recently in the San Francisco Bay. As luck would have it, Andrei Grigoriev recorded the encounter and posted a video on his Facebook page last month. “The whale appeared to hit me twice,” he wrote. In an interview with the Australian morning show “Sunrise,” Grigoriev said he didn’t realize he had struck the whale the first time. “I wasn’t that scared because we all know that whales are not sharks,” he told the morning show.
