    Now Australian school teacher David Sheridan knows how Jonah felt - or near enough.

    As this amazing picture shows, a huge whale suddenly rose up close to the surface as the 42-year-old New South Wales man was riding his kiteboard - a small surfboard suspended beneath a large kite.

    Seconds after this photo was snapped remotely by David's camera, mounted on the kite apparatus, the whale flicked up its tail and gave him an almighty blow on the back of his head.

    So it looks like Beach Volleyball was not in there right at the beginning and a relatively new event then.
    For those that haven't heard of it, here's some pics to explain what it is all about:
