Hawaiian Turtles Surf The Waves
“He has eaten a big lunch and had a snooze on the beach. So this turtle is looking for a nice quiet journey home. Rather than be crashed about on the breakers as he makes his way back out to sea, he ducks down to the sand for a smoother ride. The Hawaiian green sea turtle makes the same journey every day to and from the Laniakea Beach in Hawaii, where he munches on seaweed and takes his rest. He and his friends have been caught on camera by surf photographer Clark Little. Mr Little, 40, took the pictures this summer while shooting waves from below sea-level. He said: ‘The turtles often travel through the breaking waves. I usually run into them after they have been eating. What they try and do is swim under the wave, to avoid a thrashing.” w/ photos
