Looks like the whales thought they had a lunch date

Maybe but just being playfull I think. We see dolphins doing things
like that all of the time back in SWFL. There's something that
attracts them from a distance - probably prop vibrations or shaft
noise - possibly exhaust noise. We see them seeking us out from far
away with the surfing opportunity just an added bonus after they get
closer.
