It's much easier to eat the surfers that way.

The second photo were made by newspaper photographer Michael Cunningham at Sandy Bay, Northland, New Zealand. Easy to find on the internet. Why did you not credit him? http://www.adventure-journal.com/2010/11/new-zealands-killer-whales-ride-killer-waves

Humpback Whales Surf Pipe
Proof that the perfect waves on the North Shore can be truly irresistible to all walks of life, a pod of Hawaiian humpback whales were recently photographed surfing a second-reef set at Pipeline. J.T. Gray, who shoots for North Shore Surf Photos, and took the amazing image above, had shown up on Saturday to document the late-season swell that had filtered into the North Shore.

Wow! Orca Whales Surfing – The Joy of Freedom
In a New Zealand surf location called Sandy Bay, photographer Michael Cunningham was in the ocean body surfing when he noticed a large fin measuring over three feet tall heading towards him and other surfers. “I didn’t have anything to sit on and with most of my body under the water, it felt a bit freaky,” said Cunningham.
