An expert Alaskan paddleboarder captured video of the amazing moment he had a breathtakingly close encounter with a pod of bold orcas.
Saffron Hayes, 38, is a seasoned paddleboarder and adventurist from Juneau, Alaska, who frequently paddles off the Alaska coast with his wife and young children.
On a recent paddleboard excursion to the waters near Lena Point, almost 14 miles northwest of Downtown Juneau, Hayes experienced the shock of a lifetime.
Hayes managed to capture the wild moment he came just inches away from a massive orca on camera.
He said he spotted the orca pod and paddled over to get a closer look - while still keeping his distance.
