Happened here in Namibia as well couple years ago. Penguin came cruising into the lineup and climbed onto the boards and the bodyboarders back. So cool to experience.
@@brettm.s.1169 let's think nature is all butterflies and rainbows for once 🤣 I mean idk if you'd catch me surfing in south africa. Gnarly stories come from out there... I mean woo man..
Great footage, never seen anything like that before! I remember years ago before Boulders penguin area was closed to humans they'd just come wandering through the people, over your towel :-) No one bothered them, they didn't bother anyone ... amazing little critters!
Same thing happened to me at misty cliffs / witsands area a few weeks ago. Jordy with actually tried to paddle it in with me. We Thought the penguin was weak from hunger .it seemed a bit pap .but maybe, hopefully you are right and just friendly 🙂
They are incredibly inquisitive on land and when semi out of their element so I guess not too surprising an interaction when in their own element . It's a sub adult /juvenile so probably confused and even lost . Almost certainly hatched and born down the coast at Boulders so it would know people well and almost taken comfort with the surfers in the big wild ocean. Hope he or she made it .. sadly they have a huge mortality rate in their first year and once they leave Boulders on their maiden swim. Juveniles might not return for a year or more , to compound matters they are usually shunned by the adult flocks/rafts when out hunting at sea.
Not necessarily. Capetonians treat penguins pretty well, so they don't develop a particular fear of us. Judging by how confident he is, this little guy probably already interacted with the kind people from SANCCOB or other chill people.

First time I liked a body boarding video.
Maybe the penguin though they were speed bumbs.
@@Deontjie Nah they don't seem like dickheads.
Made my day! Thanks!!
Cowabunga!
Surfing penguins huh? Somebody should make a feature length animated film on this concept.

Amazing! So happy it was filmed haha.

No, these are African penguins. They live here.

Using you for a decoy…to distract the White Shark cruising below you!
What an AWESOME experience 🐧🐧
The best video this week 😂 how
amazing
The penguin was a paid actor, but it’s fine- I’m convinced. I’ll be there next week 😭😂
Never leave your wingman!
Very cool what a character, I live in South Aus, seen dolphins and seals in the surf but never a penguin. Ha
Awesome!
AWESOME 👍
That's awesome 😊
The movie "Surf's Up" get a huge a mistake, Penguin prefer Bodyboarding 🤣🤣🤙🤙🤙
Really cool but something must’ve been scaring the crap out of them to make them overcome their fear of you
