Well isn’t this one friendly little grom? According to the YouTube post, this wild seal pup played with two surfers — including Matthew Stanley who shot the video — for about an hour.

“Me and my friend Andrew 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,” he explained on the post.

Stanley said that they reported the incident to the local wildlife authorities. “He didn’t seem unwell when he was surfing in like a pro,” he added.
