Dolphins are known to jump out the back of big waves as they break against the shores. This pod of bottlenose dolphins was leisurely surfing in the waves as the offshore wind blew against the incoming waves, creating an atmosphere that was most unique and magical. It was shot by Andrew Wong in a place called Waterfall Bluff in the Transkei, South Africa, and entered in the National Geographic International Photo Contest 2008.
