Paddleboarder escapes close encounter with humpback whale:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - An Alaska man on a paddleboard escaped a close encounter with a humpback whale, not even getting wet during a tense few seconds caught on camera by friends and family as the giant creature surfaced right in front of him then glided under his board.
They had seen the whale in the fjord, which is about 2 miles wide. Williams said he was slower than his friends, who were about 200 feet ahead of him. The whale’s pectoral fin was sticking a few feet out of the water, and Williams feared the creature might flip over as it swam below him, or he might topple off the board and land on its stomach.
