Windsurfer Hit by Whale GoPro 360 Camera
Windsurfer Jason Breen unexpectedly captured a baby whale body slamming him using a GoPro Max 360 camera at a Sydney beach. After propelling itself out of the water, the whale came down, landed straight on Breen and got caught in his leash.



He estimates that the baby whale dragged him 20 or 30 feet under, and at that point, he thought it was all over. Fortunately, he felt his leash and was able to came up to the surface. When all was said and done, he managed to escape without any injuries.

I saw the head come out, then I saw the rest of the body come out, and then I saw the whole thing above me and about that stage I’ve got to be honest, I thought I was in trouble. I could feel the mass of the whale like right against my body and the only time I was released was about 20 foot down when the (board’s) leash broke,” said Breen to 7News.
