The pod continued to circle around the fish before a hungry seal joined the chase to share in the feast.   

To the amusement of the surfers, the lone seal and his new friends with fins playfully pursued the hundreds of fish through the crashing waves. 

Maroubra Beach is known as one of the most popular surfing locations in Sydney and Australia’s second only to the National Surfing Reserve. 

Australia’s best and promising surfers recently competed at the eastern Sydney beach for the 2021 Mad Mex Maroubra Pro in late February.
