Jimmy Hendrix glides along with a pod of mellow dolphins

[Relax and float downstream/YouTube]

A lone California paddle boarder captured video of a pod of dolphins racing along him just beneath the water’s surface, close enough for the aquatic athlete to touch.

The amazing video was captured by Rich German off the coast of California.

Cutting his groovy Jimi Hendrix board through the waves, he is suddenly joined by a dolphin. Then two. Then an entire pod!

The dolphin and their human playmate swim around so gracefully. Between the trippy print of German’s board and the mesmerizing movement of the pod, the video looks likes something out of a dream.

The dolphins are so at ease, zig zagging under German’s board and breaching right beside him. Its as if they are among friends.

Which they are!

German’s YouTube page has dozens of videos documenting his encounters with marine life of all kinds including the ever elusive Orca.
