Surfer Matthew Stanley captured this GoPro footage of a baby seal climbing on his board and playing with him and his friend Andrew Flounders. The two were surfing off Amble in Northumberland, England. In the YouTube video description, Stanley explains:

“Me and my friend Andrew Flounders were out enjoying some summer waves when this little guy came along and scared the hell out of Andy because we didn’t know what it was! It nudged his foot from underneath.”

 

The young seal seemed determined to surf or at least lay on the board but it kept slipping and sliding off.
