WHAT WENT DOWN BETWEEN THIS SURFER AND AN INJURED GIANT SQUID WILL LEAVE YOU SPEECHLESS!

They say that surfing is one of the most exhilarating activities one could ever be blessed with doing. Well, the waves, the ocean breeze, and the gorgeous sun is a combination nothing can compare to. Admit it, we have all imagined and daydreamed about riding waves and getting on a surfboard. There is another thing that makes surfing one of the most entertaining sports ever. You might catch a few fishes or sea creatures while at it. James Taylor encountered something while riding the waves that changed his whole perception of the aquatic life.

So you never know what kind of a day, spending time at the ocean would be like. There are so many possibilities that await you in the ocean. After all, water covers 70% of the world right? Well for this man named James Taylor, who is a surfer aged 39, it was like any other day. He was busy surfing but on this particular day in Merkbosstrand, South Africa. He was paddle surfing his day away and did not think much of it until this.

Just like him, he had a wife who was well into water sports too. His wife loves spending time and surfing in the ocean waves just as much as Taylor enjoys it. So this random day, he was just paddling around with his darling wife, Christina, minding their own business until they saw something weird lurking in the ocean water. Since he was not prepared for any kind of an out-of-the-ordinary experience, he was completely shaken up by what he saw that day.

Giant Squid

We never know what we could discover in the ocean because we as humans have not even uncovered most of what lies under the depths of the ocean bodies. Who knows what kind of fish or living creates stay under the deep trenches of the oceans. So on that day what did Taylor discover? Well, it turns out, the peculiar thing that the couple saw in the water was actually a giant squid! The huge squid appeared to be injured as well and Taylor knew he had to do something to help.

It would be confusing to see something as random as an injured squid out of the blue in the water. And indeed Taylor was very shocked to see such a thing. Since the squid was suffering from some injuries, it needed to be helped immediately. Taylor tried his best and did whatever he thought was best at the spur of the moment. He made a lasso out of a rope and tied to squid to pull it out of the water. The squid was, however, not cooperating and it had intentions of its own.

 

The Video

When he uploaded the clip, he made sure he wrote something for the caption. What was it then? Well, James wrote: “Spotted an injured giant squid just behind the waves in Melkboss a while back and decided to try and get it to the beach.” The big question is how did James have the time or was ready with a camera if all the things that took place with the giant squid was a surprise? How can you be so prepared when faced with a surprise like this?
