we were shooting out at Teahupo'o and i swam back to our little boat tied up at the buoy, to replace my camera battery. as i was sitting there the two humpback whales drifted right past us in the current - the mother was actually asleep, while the baby frolicked around it. at that point, malia was paddling back to the boat finished with the session, so she put her board in boat, grabbed a mask/fins, and we jumped in and drifted up the reef with them for about 20 minutes before they dove off the reef shelf.
