This is the moment a novice paddle-boarder picked up an unexpected passenger when a seal hitched a ride.
The chilled-out animal hopped on to Cenk Albayrak-Touye's board before spending a couple of minutes lying on it basking in the sun.
It seemed oblivious to its host for most of the time it spent relaxing on his board in the sea off Dorset on Bank Holiday Monday.
But it then turned round and had a good look at him before slipping back into the water.
Mr Albayrak-Touye, 25, an English teacher, was paddle-boarding with his dad just off Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour, when he filmed the astonishing encounter.
