A pair of surfers had a lucky escape after two gigantic killer whales were spotted swimming just feet away during a Norwegian surfing competition.
Footage shot from the shore initially shows competitors in the Lofoten Masters riding the waves in the icy waters of northern Norway.
But spectators quickly spot two black fins poking menacingly out of the water, swimming alarmingly close to the competitors.
One surfer , wearing a red wetsuit, spots the enormous creatures and begins to wave frantically for help as they circle the helpless pair.
He then turns around and paddles desperately away from the deadly animals, and thankfully both surfers escape unharmed.
It is rare, but not unheard-of, to see the mammals swimming so close to the shore.
