This kayaker had an amazing up-close experience with a huge whale off the coast of Sydney, Australia.<br /><br />The clip, filmed on June 19, shows Tristan observing the whales before one sneaks up on him and breaches right in front of his kayak.<br /><br />Tristan explained to Newsflare: "It’s a crazy feeling being four kilometres offshore on a floating piece of plastic and having 30-tonne animals dropping bombs around you.<br /><br />"I'm a sea kayaker who has been taking photos of whales on their annual migration over the last couple of years in New South Wales, Australia. While I am trying to keep my distance from them as per the law, sometimes they sneak up a bit closer than you were expecting.<br /><br />"It’s peak whale time now in Sydney, there have been heaps on the move that last couple of days. This one was around 1.5 kilometres off Maroubra beach this morning."
