An Australian man says even his parents think he’s an “idiot” to surf a dead whale while hungry sharks circled in the water.
Harrison Williams, of Perth, Australia, was seen on video jumping from a friend’s boat and climbing on top of the dead whale because one of his friends said it would be funny.
“Mom thinks I’m an idiot, Dad’s not too proud either,” the young man told Seven News after the encounter off the coast of Rottnest Island.
The stunt was criticized by whale experts who fear others mariners will be inspired to do similarly reckless acts on the water.
