Australian surfer rides wave with hot-dogging dolphin

Professional surfer Soli Bailey is pretty good, but he's not as good as the ocean's smartest inhabitant.

Yeah, Bailey might be up-and-coming, but he's not as good on the waves as a dolphin.

And we're not talking about Ryan Tannehill either. We're getting real.

Bailey posted the above photo to his Instagram Thursday, and we'll be honest, we thought this was fake.

Video or it isn't real, right?

Well, here's the video. It's real. And it's pretty awesome.
