There’s a new surfer in town. Sammy the seal pup loves nothing more than showing up for the dawn patrol on Pacific Beach, California, to surf with his friends.

The adorable Sammy’s escapades began in June when videographer Ed Hartel was out shooting drone footage at the popular surf spot. After swimming up to a surfer, the seal proceeded to climb up on her board. For the next two hours, says Mr Hartel, the playful seal swam up to different surfers, lifting himself up on their boards and resting on the nose, completely unafraid.
