From sharks to seals to whales and everything in-between, Cape Town in South Africa is renowned for wildlife encounters in the water. But it’s rare for surfers to see a penguin, let alone share a few waves with one – until this little guy came along.

(African Penguins are critically endangered. You can directly help efforts to save them by supporting organisations like SANCCOB)
