It was on Manly Beach that a large group of surfers had a close encounter with two southern hijackers, which can be up to 14 meters long. The whales moved for a long time with a large group of surfers, and many also approached the whales. When a person swam forward to touch the whales, the great mother of the whale got enough, and dreamed with the fin. She met several surfers, who, however, survived without any serious injuries.
The whale probably wanted to protect its election calf.
