Probably something along the lines of "wow, that dolphin looks like he is having fun".

yeah, you can tell in the original photo by the orientation of the rear fin. Lots of dolphins out around here (I see at least 10 or 20 every time I go out). I've never seen a shark except while diving in San Diego, and those were small Dogfish sharks. The dolphins seem to enjoy surfing...I've never seen a picture or any footage of a shark doing that.

No dolphins down under Bill?

Yup we've got dolphins for miles. The beach where I live a bunch (pod/happy family/gaggle) of about 200 come in a few times each day to round up the Kawai which is a sea fish that looks a bit like a salmon. I've paddled out a few times but they completely ignore me. When I was in South Africa they would do the surfing thing in waves and it was pretty wild to see a dolphin in the wave, pacing you, just below the surface. This was in Port Elizabeth, just up the road from Jefferies Bay. We get a few sharks but I think they have a heart of gold, they mean well, and arn't interested in humans at all.
