Curious Whale Swam by to Play With a Woman Riding Her Paddle Board

How would you feel if you were just inches away from a real-life whale?

During migration season, Southern Right Whales swim closer to the shores of the Argentine Patagonia. When this happens, local people and visitors get to enjoy looking at these enormous ocean creatures. 

But things were different for this particular woman as she had a literally close encounter with such a whale. She was breezing through the sea with her paddle board when she was approached by the friendly giant. The whale was probably intrigued and in a playful mood, as it gently pushed the board and swam around to observe its movement. 

According to Oscar Comes, a watersports tourism operator in the area, this interaction between the woman and the whale was a rare moment. Whatever the woman felt at the time, this is one experience she will truly never forget.

According to the city officials of Puerto Madryn, more than 1,600 specimens of the Southern Right Whale species have been spotted near their shores.
