Angry sea otter shreds surfer's board in Santa Cruz

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:32:00 GMT

While sharks likely spring to mind as one of the scariest animals in the ocean, surfers off the coast of Santa Cruz have lately been terrorized by something much cuter – a 5-year-old female sea otter.  Video taken on July 9 captured the particularly aggressive female taking issue with one surfer’s position in the lineup off Cowell Beach.  The marine mammal is seen biting the board and getting on top of it, prompting the surfer - 40-year-old Apple software engineer Joon Lee, according to the Los Angeles Times - to release his board for a moment and swim away.  When Lee reclaims the front of his board and tries to gingerly flip the female otter off, she digs her teeth into the board, gets right back on and forces the software engineer to back off yet again.  The otter is then seen shredding, not the waves, but the side of Lee’s board with its teeth.  A sea otter was captured on video going toe-to-toe with a surfer and his board in Santa Cruz on July 9, 2023. “...
