"I just got that wave, and then I looked up, and there's a pod of dolphins right by me and a perfect blue set coming," Coffin told News.com. "I thought, 'Oh my God this is insane.' I was really excited."
Coffin was able to edge his competitor and win the round.
"It was insane," 11-time world champion Kelly Slater, who was watching the round, told News.com. "That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my life."
