Salmon Flapping Frenzy Ejects Perth Paddle Boarders From Beach

A massive run of salmon called a halt to a stand up paddle board class in Perth on April 23 after they erupted into a flapping frenzy on the shore. A video of the encounter, posted on the class organizers’ Facebook page, picked up over 525,000 views by the morning of April 25. Caroline Bradley, owner of Elemental SUP, told WAtoday that the salmon came close to shore to feed on smaller bait fish. Credit: Facebook/Elemental SUP
