A racing team slicing through the waters of Monterey Bay over Memorial Day weekend got the shock of a lifetime when an overexcited sea lion launched itself straight onto their outrigger canoe in a now-viral moment caught on camera. The wild encounter unfolded during the Monterey Hoe Wa’a race on May 23, when the marine mammal suddenly burst from the water and landed directly on the narrow racing canoe packed with paddlers from Outrigger Santa Cruz. “I just screamed my head off,” paddler Channing Baker, who was sitting in seat three, told KTVU on Wednesday. “At first I thought it was a shark.”
