Santa Cruz Beach-Goers Left Shocked After a Strange Encounter With Surfing Otter

The surfing community of Santa Cruz, California celebrates the novel Juneteenth Festival in a special manner. Every year since the federal holiday was declared in 2021, locals organize a surf-out. On the day, the Cowell Beach in Monterey Bay witnesses several surfers breaking out their boards, and swarming to the sea in groups. However, this year's annual paddle-out took a bit of an interesting turn as an otter with dreams of being a surf champion shocked Santa Cruz beach-goers.
