It has begun.
NZ Herald article – more details than the Aussie article linked.
I know we have a reputation for adventure tourism, but this is ridiculous …!
I don’t know. It could be a new “niche” market. Now all you have to do is start training the whales at Kaikoura to keep up with their northern cousins.
Oh, I shouldn’t laugh. I really shouldn’t, but … 
I have a bad case of black humour …
And brewha is vindicated. 
Ouch
A stingray made him do it.
:smack: Yes, I know, bad taste. I’ll just be on my way now to catch that bus to hell.
Stingray: Oi! You! Bottle-nosed fella. Yeah, you. Reckon you can leap over that daft floaty thing in one go for a tenner and a brewski? Eh?
Yeah, those stingrays will dare anyone to do anything …
An update from today’s Herald.
Did that dolphin have more right to be there than the human?
Damn Junkie Dolphin!
Don’t say I didn’t try to warn you people!
The article claims it was an accident, but I know what that dolphin was doing.
I can top that. Several years ago, when my wife and I were in Maui, the whale watching tour we went on had just had a baby humpback whale breach and break the leg of a woman passenger.
Now, nobody ever wants to break a leg- but if you MUST get a broken leg, that’s the way to do it. I mean, how can you top a conversation about a whale breaking your leg?
Oh, good. I’m not the only thing that had both of those flash through my mind when I read the OP.

I think the phrase “creature miscalculation” has potential. The possibilities are so much more varied and dramatic than “wardrobe malfunction.”
well… damn. that just beats my vacation in hawai’i all to heck and back. all we had happen to us is… nothing.
unless you count all the mai-tais on wakiki beach in front of diamond head. but you know… i wouldn’t want to brag or anything.
I, for one, welcome our aquatic mammalian overlords.
First it was the stingrays, now this. This is the dolphinvasion. They’re coming for us, and they already control 70 percent of the planet. May God have mercy on us all.
