An Alaska man on a paddleboard escaped a close encounter with a humpback whale, not even getting wet during a tense few seconds caught on camera by friends and family as the giant creature surfaced right in front of him then glided under his board.“It’s just so massive. You’re puny against this whale,” Kevin Williams of Anchorage said Thursday, a week after his adventure with an adult humpback whale in Prince William Sound. Adult females can weigh up to 31,700 kilograms and average about 15 metres in length, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Males are a little smaller.Williams said anyone who claims they wouldn't be afraid in that situation is crazy.
