WATCH: Durban resident captures amazing footage of dolphins surfing

A local resident has shared a video of a pod of dolphins swimming in the surf along eMdloti’s beach, Durban.

The video has already amassed more than 11 000 views on his Facebook page alone.

Richard Melvill, an eMdloti resident, captured the breathtaking footage with his drone, Northglen News reported.

“I live in eMdloti Beach and I was out there about 35 minutes. I was so stoked to capture this, I was just in the right place at the right time. The response from residents and people viewing the footage has been phenomenal. I’ve seen the dolphins many times in the surf, but never seen anything like this,” Melvill said.

This is the second time amazing footage like this has been captured off eMdloti’s beach. In April, Mike Kirk captured footage of dolphins in the surf.
