WATCH: Large Whale Swims Near Surfers At Freshwater Beach In Sydney

Talk about having a whale of a time! Imagine swimming around and one of these huge fellas showed up! The Nine News helicopter captured the moment...

Freshwater resident Ian Hansen told Fairfax he spotted the whale because it was ringed by surfers. "To be honest they were harassing it a bit. They were so close and it had no room to move," said Mr Hansen.

Swimmers apparently, are required to stay at least 30 metres from whales, while surfers and boats need to stay at least 100 metres away.
