This morning at Newport Beach I paddled over the top of a large sea lion (his head was about the size of a man's) when I was turning around to catch a wave. Needless to say, I didn't catch the wave. I was proud of myself for not screaming like a girl, though. I'm not sure why, but I could tell from the way he dove below me that he was just playing (I had seen him lazily cruising through the surf about twenty minutes earlier). I just said "Whoooaaa!"
Dolphins and seals typically don't come inside the surf line. This guy, however, was going right up to the beach and diving below the waves. A girl on a longboard next to me saw him and immediately started paddling away and to the shore. The funny thing was that the sea lion started following her. Her friend laughed.
