Jed Gradisen, 13, was hitting the waves in Kalbarri, Western Australia, when the dolphin decided to get in on the action, with the teen given only mere seconds to react.
The teenager’s father, Andrew, was filming his son at the time and captured the moment the dolphin is seen smashing into his son.
Although the dolphin landed on Jed’s shoulder and half of his back, the teenager wasn’t injured in the incident, only feeling a little sore in the few days that followed.
