These huge breakers would put the fear of God into most surfers. But when you're a dolphin, they can only mean one thing: Playtime. Gliding effortlessly through the ocean these masters of the ocean made light work of waves up to 25 feet high.
In pods of up to 400, the creatures crowded into the swell of the water as it broke. And with seemingly little effort they tore through the surf, leaping high in the air as they went.
At points some of the more daring dolphins achieved jumps up to 20 feet high, appearing to spring straight over the powerful walls of water. Others burst through the wave in perfect formation.
Photographer Greg Huglin snapped these incredible pictures on the south coast of South Africa.
The 57-year-old dad-of-two, from Santa Barbara in California, said: 'The first time I saw dolphins surfing the waves I was completely blown away.
'I was in South Africa filming white sharks and happened to stop in a small town where a shop was advertising dolphin and whale watching boat tours.
'I went along and after that I spent three months every year for the next six years filming and photographing the dolphins.
