Whales emerge while woman was paddling at Hout Beach in Cape Town

This is the heart-stopping moment a paddle-boarder was forced to race frantically back to shore after an enormous whale and her calf began following her in the ocean, Daily Mail reported.

The unknown woman was paddling at Hout Beach in Cape Town, South Africa, when the majestic creatures emerged behind her, according to the report.

The curious woman began to paddle towards the whales to get a closer look. But the protective mother suddenly plunged underwater and re-appeared just meters away from the woman's board, with the calf in tow.

The giant mammals then followed the terrified woman for nearly ten minutes, until they were in touching distance of her board.

Luckily, the whales abruptly decided to turn around and head back out to sea, leaving the woman shaken but unharmed.
