Kayaking with Sea Lions, Dolphins and Whales, GoPro

[pamalah]

Where did you shoot this?

[magicstix0r]

I AM DISAPPOINT! I was expecting a killer whale and/or great white to come up and eat those sealions right in front of you... ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

[sidotheindian]

I just realised how stupid my question was :|

[sidotheindian]

This is amazing!!Where is this place??

[hotpapilatino253]

@sidotheindian We can't tell you, you might be Chinese :))

[sidotheindian]

@hotpapilatino253 Hahahaha! Well, read my channel's name and tell me I'm Chinese :p

So observing and interacting with wild animals in their natural habitat is against the law, yet paying money to gawk at them in a big glass tank after they've lost any and all sense of their true purpose is okay. It's like Dumbo's mom has died all over again.

Swimming with the dolphins during a surf is one of my greatest joys in life. Video was fantastic, can't wait for another.

[driftnman]

can we please agree that this is incredible, and that he's frankly not harming these animals whatsoever? he isn't feeding them, he isn't attacking them, he is simply observing them in their natural environment.

@lostridley NOAA's Marine Mammal Protection Act prohibits the taking of animals, not swimming with them. he has done nothing illegal or wrong

like you said, you should check out NOAA's laws

Normal seals get scared of things bigger than them, but those're SEALIONS, they eat everything that's meat. You got some balls nig.

[MrAcerspade20]

lol with all those seals theres bound the be a great white and that would be really SCARY!

[MariCSS2007]

Fantastic. 

[FaithHopeAmour]

***What was the guy (on the left) floating on? The sea lion footage was great, but I'm more puzzled at how that guy was able to stand and row (on what?)

[lostridley]

@FaithHopeAmour it's a paddleboard

[irArcangel]

lol at the guy at 4:15 on the left side of the screen

[pheonix777100]

I didn't see any harassment he was just looking, and he should why do you think the animals are here, and this video is awsome great footage!!

[hrfearqc]

1 word, incredible. Very good video mate!

[onejbo]

I didn't notice any harassment of any sorts, another great video, thank you for sharing.

[lostridley]

You should be arrested, all of your videos show you committing the crime of harassment of a protected species. All marine mammals in US waters are protected and this type of interaction is strictly prohibited. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

[Namsatasman]

@lostridley You don't know shit mate. You're a straight out hater

[countzulu99]

@lostridley There was absolutely no harassment involved.

[JasionJones]

@lostridley I feel bad for you slave. Gov. does not own the animals nor the ocean it belongs to the creator and we as humans can explore and swim near creatures for our sake.

"Just because you can, doesn't mean you should." Right becuase Big Brother Gov. said so. Are you like some paid Big Brother Gov. drone sent by Janet Napolitano?

[happykitty11]

@lostridley those sea lions are NOT being harassed. california sea lions are always playing close to surfers, snorkelers, scuba divers, kayaks and boats. Dolphins do the exact same thing. He's observing them without bothering them, and they're either minding their own business or investigating him.

[happykitty11]

@lostridley now get the sand out of your vagina, and find something better to do than pick on kayakers on youtube.

[MrBOclips]

@lostridley You are the biggest fucking idiot I have ever seen post a comment. A seal is not a protected species you dumbass and he is observing them not harassing them. And you failed again saying he is committing a crime then you say, "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" Shut the fuck up faggot and go find something better to do then make your self look like a fool

[lostridley]

@MrBOclips you are completely wrong. All marine mammals in US waters have protected status. That includes all species os

of seals, sea lions, whales, porpoises, dolphins, manatees and polar bears. Yes, polar bears are classified as marine mammals.

[MrBOclips]

@lostridley Dude you can't get in trouble for kayaking in open water and observing a whale you fucking moron. If he had a weapon and was trying to kill it then yes he should get in trouble, but for simply swimming around and capturing video of an animal there is no way in hell anyone can do anything. Please show me the law that states a man can not swim in open water and observe an animal.

[lostridley]

@MrBOclips You Tube will not permit a link to the information you seek. Google NOAA laws regarding swimming with dolphins, whales or similar to find the info. MrRJCtube and I have communicate privately about this and I think we both respect each other's position. He has been contacted by NOAA and advised on this matter. Watching is fine, swimming with isn't. There's many cases of people "befriending" these animals with horrible results for the animals. Not blue whales, but dolphins and seals

[papavalium]

@lostridley I think we all like NOAA, but to say there is laws against people in the ocean swimming with animals, is ABSURD. You know how big the oceans are...you know how much sea life is out there. Earth is for all of us, not just some liberal morons that want to prohibit everything.

[papavalium]

@lostridley In America we have something called the Constitution and I know for a fact, it doesn't say you can't swim with whales. That's why we have FREEDOM here.

[HaloHamstur]

@papavalium International waters

[pwningsoccer]

@lostridley governments here in this world to enforce laws to control the way each of us think, say and act. either you live a shitty life living after their mold and tell your friends how great a day you had convicting a man who's living life or you take videos such as these as an example and realize that your wasting your life being those people who are blinded by government, laws and politics. fun these days are through breaking the laws more than following them, pursuit of happiness. we live

[captfletch69]

This is a nice slow approach, but you don't want to come at a wild animal from perpendicular or from it's rear- 6o'clock. Would you run after an elephant from behind or jump at it from the side? Give the whale time, if it doesn't approach you, TRY ANOTHER DAY !Capt Fletch, whale watching operator 10+ yrs.

[adzek]

Great video! I have to know if your using a flat lens on your gopro hero 1080?
