The footage was caught by Jed's father and has been uploaded to YouTube.




Speaking to WA Today, Jed said: "I saw them coming. I was like 'Oh my god, they're coming straight for me.' So I like tried to get out of the way and he just jumped straight into me.

"The dolphin landed on my, sort of, shoulder and the back half of my body. The dolphin reacted, really I think, really shocked, almost as shocked as I was."

"It's nose went straight through my board, it must have hurt a bit. It was rustling around and really didn't know what to do."

The Metro reports that while Jed walked away unhurt, his board wasn't so lucky.
