Dolphins, renowned for their intelligence, and playful nature, and also known as man’s favorite whales, find joy in catching and surfing ocean waves. They are often spotted in pods, riding waves together in a display of agility and finesse. Beyond the sheer thrill of surfing, dolphins may use waves to their advantage for various reasons. Some theories suggest that riding waves help them select mates, locate food, and even dislodge parasites from their skin.

The splashing and whistling noises they make while surfing may also serve as a form of communication. Interestingly, the history of dolphins surfing waves dates back thousands of years, with ancient accounts documenting their interactions with boat-generated waves.
