Insane moment surfer Gabriela Bryan is stunned by 'crazy' sighting during competition final

Surfer Gabriela Bryan was left stunned by a 'magical' moment as she won her first World Surf League title last weekend.

The 22-year-old won the Margaret River Pro to move to No 5 in the world rankings and make the mid-season cut.

And her triumph was made all the more special as she navigated a pod of dolphins during her winning run.

Stunning video footage shows at least a dozen dolphins share a wave with Bryan as she began her run. Awestruck, the Hawaiian surfer circumvented the dolphins to put together a great performance.

'I'm just so happy we got good waves today and all the girls put on a really good show. It's insane, I just won,' Bryan said.

The Hawaiian said it was a 'magical' moment that led to her victory

'When I kicked out, I was just wow! That wave was sent to me by someone, the dolphins in it. It was magical.'

The crowd and commentators were also flabbergasted by what they were seeing on the water, with Bryan earning praise for her quick reactions to the unusual sighting.

'Oh my god. She actually turned to avoid one of those dolphins — that's crazy,' commentator Matt Chojnacki said.

'It was an epic turn as well. Talk about distractions ... she lines up this bottom turn and then lo and behold a dolphin drops in on her, and not just one — five of them.

'She has to turn short, as you would be a little bit concerned. And she stays on top, does really well not to fall off.

'Then she carries that composure into this next turn, knowing she's on to a good score, the dolphins blessing her with this wave.'
