When surfer Nick Smart first paddled out into Porpoise Bay to have this photograph taken, there were no dolphins to be seen. They flocked to him within minutes. “You often see them competing with each other for waves,” he says. “They do tail slaps, or the big dolphin will push the little dolphin out of the way. It’s pretty special when you’re out there on a paddleboard and they’re just following you and playing games.”
