Unbelievable video captures windsurfer crashing into whale in San Francisco Bay

Video obtained by KTLA’s sister station KRON4.com appears to show a windsurfer colliding with a whale in the San Francisco Bay.

In the video, a large cargo ship is seen traveling slowly by in the background, while in the foreground, beachgoers are seen enjoying a sunny day on the Bay.

Then, a speeding windsurfer suddenly bursts into the frame from the right. As the wetsuit-clad man on the windsurf board moves into the center of the frame, a gray whale breaches the surface directly in his path.

With no time to react, the man on the board collides with the surfacing whale and goes flying off his board. The whale, which doesn’t appear too troubled by the incident, disappears into the deep, leaving the windsurfer looking dazed, but appearing unharmed, and floating in the water with his board.

The video was shot on Tuesday, March 24 at Crissy Field Beach, according to the viewer that submitted it. A separate video posted to social media captures the incident from another angle with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background.
