"
Did you see when your puppy looks for you to play? Like this, but bigger
."
Those were the words that photojournalist Maxi Jonas chose when publishing on his social networks the shocking video in which a southern right whale pushes a board on which a woman floated in Puerto Madryn.
The sequence, which seems to take place in slow motion, shows the whale swimming next to a
stand up paddle board.
The woman hardly moves and is dedicated to contemplating that unique moment, while the whale
swims below and surrounding the table
.
So shocking is the video that even Emanuel Ginobili was impressed and commented on its publication: "MA RA VI LLO SO !!!", the best Argentine basketball player in history wrote to him.
MARVELOUS !!!

"When I saw everything that happened in real time
, my tears fell. I couldn't believe it!
" Jonas told the
MDZ
media
.
Shocking photos of whales are multiplying on his social networks, but Jonas himself considered that the moment he captured was "the best video with a drone" of his life.
"The sea was ironed, the conditions were incredible. We had the bay exploited by whales, as few times," he continued with the description of the moment.
here my lucky wife, she was not a skinny woman, she was a skinny girl🤞🏼 blessed on her birthday,
far from bothering the whales, one goes out to ride a board and they approach the coast wanting to play
everything with respect and without fuck!
enjoy them and let's learn to live together pic.twitter.com/7W3yhH9Y0T

About the video and the exact moment in which he captures when the whale gently pushes the board, Jonas explained that when he saw the whales near the boards he decided to wait, although he never imagined that one of them would touch him.
"I saw that there were two women in a table and that the whales had a calm behavior, I thought: 'I will wait to see if they approach them'", he explained.
The whale watching season in Puerto Madryn runs from May to December, but it is between August and November that the greatest number is seen in that area.
