Olympic surfers were having a whale of a time in Tahiti on Monday, as a whale in search of its gold medal moment in Paris decided to interrupt competition on the waters off the French Polynesian island.
During a surfing semifinal competition, as Brazilian surfer Tatiana Weston-Webb and Costa Rica's Brisa Hennessy paddled off in pursuit of the next wave, a whale, a safe distance away from the two surfers, suddenly decided to breach the water, providing the two athletes, the spectators and any photographers there a moment they will likely never forget.
