A whale and her calf have been filmed playing with surfers at Christchurch's New Brighton Beach. The inquisitive Southern Right whales approached the surfers and circled them, while they sat on their boards watching. Community board member Jo Zervos took the video from the New Brighton pier. She spoke to Susie Ferguson.
