A Florida local captured a stunning photo of a giant manta ray leaping out of the water and photobombing a surfer just off the coast of Satellite Beach.
Rusty Escandell was spending last Sunday at the beach taking photos, but he didn’t realize just what he had captured until he went home and checked the footage.

“I kind of saw a splash behind the surfer, but didn’t think much of it,” Escandell told CNN. “It could have been a fish, could have been anything, it was pretty amazing.” The series of photos he took with his camera’s burst mode shows the manta ray leaping out of the water until it ascended above the surfer.
