Surfing Swan Catches Waves at Australian Beach

A black swan was seen having a blast at the beach on July 2, with footage showing it expertly catching waves to surf the whitewater of Potato Point in New South Wales.

The sighting was caught on camera by beachgoer Karyn Everingham, and shows the bird letting itself be carried by the waves.

Everingham told Storyful that the “surfing action” was an amazing thing to see.
