The Lofoten Masters surf event in northern Norway made bigger headlines than usual this weekend, with two Killer Whales filmed swimming through the lineup during a heat.
According to the Lofoten Masters Facebook page, “the Norwegian Orca Survey confirming this as an actual attack on a human, where the whales changed their mind in the last second. First time ever documented on film.”
While the idea of an attack — aborted or otherwise — by the most feared animal in the seas might sound like a terrifying episode, both commentators and competitors manage to maintain a staggering degree of chill… perhaps due to the cold.
