WATCH: Bad-ass dolphin knocks paddler off his board!

Not only are dolphins some of the smartest creatures around, they're also very playful. Let's hope this guy could see the funny side.

If things have been bringing you down today, this recent viral video will be just the tonic.

An unsuspecting paddle boarder in Gracetown, Australia, found himself firmly in the line of fire as a pod of dolphins rode a wave towards him.

One of them launched himself at the guy, sending him flying.

Clearly, this dolphin is used to living the “thug life”. It was as if he was telling the human “these waves are mine, homie”.

Check out the hilarious clip below.
