This is the incredible moment a windsurfer narrowly escaped collision with a giant whale off San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Eric Kramer was peacefully gliding along the water at Crissy Field when a giant whale slammed right beside him \u2013 and threw the surfer into the waves.<\/p>\n

He completely lost control of the board and fell into the waves right next to the gray whale.<\/p>\n

The surfer joked on social media after the incident, “It was a “whale” of a day…”<\/p>\n

But more seriously he added: “Please be vigilant and respect the wildlife”.<\/p>\n

He had seen whales in the area before moving, and had “reduced his speed” to avoid them, but, according to his post, the whale “came right in front of me”.<\/p>\n

“Glad we’re both OK,” he said, referring to the whale, which was not injured by the dramatic collision.<\/p>\n

However, some commentators criticized the windsurfer’s stupidity.<\/p>\n

One asked, “I mean if you saw them there, why did you decide to go sailing anyway.”<\/p>\n

“Hmm- what happened to keeping 300 feet away from marine mammals?” The other one called out.<\/p>\n

This is what happened when a couple on holiday found a poisonous snake crawling on their bed during the night.<\/p>\n

The two were woken up by a cobra at 5am when the cobra was found near their heads in their hotel room in Thailand.<\/p>\n

One ran away screaming from the reptile, while the other remained in bed, believing it was a nightmare.<\/p>\n

Luckily a reptile catcher quickly arrived at the scene and armed with two phone torches, managed to catch the timid snake by its tail while its hood was open.<\/p>\n

Kramer saw several whales in the area, but decided to go surfing anyway<\/span>Credit: WindsurfJournalYT\/Youtube<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
