Get out of the ray!<\/p>\n

An incredible viral photo captured the moment a manta ray jumped out of the water behind a surfer in Florida.<\/p>\n

Photographer Rudy Escandell told WOFL<\/a> he was at Satellite Beach near Patrick Space Force Base with relatives Sunday, snapp<\/a>ing shots his son surfing, when he captured the giant creature leaping out of the water \u2014 and didn\u2019t even take notice at first.<\/p>\n

\u201cSaw the splash behind the surfer I was photographing, using burst mode catching several frames in a row, but didn\u2019t realize it was a manta ray until I got home and was reviewing the picture!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The ray, he estimated, was at least 8 feet long, \u201cbut probably bigger.\u201d<\/p>\n

He posted the stunning snap on Facebook<\/a> with the caption, \u201cPhoto bombers, they want all the attention lol.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was picked up by the Satellite Beach Facebook page<\/a>, where it then captured the internet\u2019s attention. <\/p>\n

\u201cOne in a million chances of catching this photo!\u201d one commenter wrote. \u201cGreat photo!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWow, I\u2019ve seen whales, sharks and small fish jumping but first time I\u2019ve heard about Manta Rays jumping\u2026great photo!\u201d another person posted.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooks as though it\u2019s showing this surfer how it\u2019s really done,\u201d added another.<\/p>\n

Escandell, who owns a local automotive business, told WKMG-TV<\/a> he spends a great deal of time by the water and has seen rays before, but this was his first time snapping such a shot.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, his two marine biologist daughters are impressed, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re pretty cool, calm and collected but they\u2019re pretty excited,\u201d Escandell told the station. \u201cThey\u2019re very excited about it.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
