<\/p>\n

A windsurfer got an unexpected surprise while hitting the waves in Australia this week … a massive whale body-slammed him while he was mid-ride — and for a moment, he thought the sea creature was going to kill him.<\/p>\n

It all happened when Jason Breen <\/strong>was boarding off the coast of one of Sydney’s northern beaches on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

The 55-year-old was cruising on the water on a beautiful day … when suddenly, he smashed right into a breeching whale.<\/p>\n

You can see in video caught on Breen’s GroPro cam … he hit the mammal hard — and in an interview with Windsurfing.TV<\/strong> hours after the incident, he said he feared his life was over.<\/p>\n

“It did drag me down sort of 20-to-30 feet,” Breen said. “The only thing that saved me was my leash. The webbing completely ripped out. And if it didn’t, I probably wouldn’t be here. It was only the snap of that leg rope that actually saved me.”<\/p>\n

Breen said he believed the whale dragged him under the water for around 20 seconds … telling 9News<\/strong>, <\/strong>“I thought it was all over.”<\/p>\n

Breen, though, was able to laugh about it all after he escaped … and then he found out a bystander, Paul Nettlebeck<\/strong>, actually happened to catch the moment on camera from a few hundred yards away.<\/p>\n

In fact, Nettlebeck was so nervous after witnessing it all, he said called authorities in Australia to seek help.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, no one was injured … and Breen now has a memory he’ll never forget.<\/p>\n
