The photographer told ABC Esperance: "There was one time when the whales lifted their heads up looked up over Pricey's board. They were so inquisitive and wanted to know what he was."

He added: "I don't think it was dangerous, the whales moved to where he was and the whole time they were very slow moving and peaceful."
