Dolphins Join Surfers In Cornwall And It's Possibly The Best Thing That's Ever Happened

For many people, the idea of swimming with dolphins is something they aspire to do.

It's on people's bucket lists, it's one of the first things people say they'd like to do if they ever won the lottery (apart from get smashed and buy a Lambo) and you know when someone's done it because it's plastered all over their Facebook walls/actual walls of their homes.

I don't blame them, it looks awesome. However, some surfers managed to do it without paying to go to Florida or somewhere equally as far away. In fact, a 15-strong pod of dolphins joined them for a splash at Sennen Cove in Cornwall, of all places.

The pictures are incredible.

These incredible photos were taken by 61 year-old Malcolm Barradell from Newport, Wales.

Appropriately enough, he works in environmental conservation.

He told Metro: "I was walking down a coast I hadn't visited in a while.

"A friend bought me a pasty and I sat down to eat it and the next thing I knew I was watching these dolphins."

He continued: "They were literally surfing with people. One guy said he saw a dolphin cut under his board. It was just amazing."

The pictures were snapped on April 7 (was that when we had summer? Pity it's over now isn't it).

Anyone else fancy heading over to Cornwall next time there's a tiny bit of sun? I don't fancy forking out £800 to go to Florida. Unless anyone wants to pay for me to go, in that case please message me.
