That was really cool. Maybe even a little scary having something so big jump so close.

that looks like it would be fun. But if the engine died suddenly it may have been a completely different reaction.

HA...that title...Check This...anyone else feel their blood pressure spike a little?

That vid proves just how far down the food chain humans fall when they start playing in the water. Especially the ocean variety H20.

That IS a little scary. I would not want to be in a small boat with those things chasing!

All 25-30' 6-9 tons of even one of those things hits the boat, that lady's singing a different tune.

My first thought too. Hmm, I've got a black motor now, but still a BR so he'd be calling me out for that.

If it were me I would have been asking everyone on the boat if their name was jonah.

From what I see, they should've titled that video "The Hunt".

Killer whales are extraordinary hunters/killers, their mindset is very much like the wolf in that everything they do, every move they make, every thought they have, {even when they're playing and being cute} --- "everything" is done with predatory motivation.
As far as they're concerned, your either family or food,-- those orcas were very likely figuring out {while playing and frolicking in the wakes} just how difficult it would be to get to the tender morsels on board the vessel.
Fortunately for the people on the boat, those beautiful black and whites decided it wasn't worth the trouble.

How fast do you think they are traveling? Did anyone else feel like a snack while watching this? Did we see Marv in there somewhere?

I was a bit concerned for the Orca being that close to the spinning prop. Although it is exciting to watch, I think I would have eased down on the throttle slowly and gradually stopped. The Orca were simply playing in the boat wake, but I wouldn't want my boat to cut one up on my conscience. As far as these people being in danger, Orca do not attack people iin the wild. I have had them off my test facility in the Puget Sound with people in small kayaks row boats and canoes following the pods. Each pod has their preference as far as food source is concerned. Some pods prefer salmon and other fish and generally follow the runs. Other Pods prefer pinnipeds and other marine semiaquatic mammals. (I work in underwater acoustics here BTW..)

Big Dolphin, Speeds in the mid 40's, lots of displacement, pitch and diameter. Good thing we're all running Checkmates.
