Hydroplaning dolphins
Duration: 02:00
Only a small number of individuals practise this unusual behaviour, so it proved a very frustrating experience predicting which dolphin was about to put on a show. The crew spent many hours, loaded with full camera kit, running fruitlessly up and down the baking hot sand dunes. A large local shark population made even a cooling dip in the surf off limits.
