Can't link to the vid separately, but here's the article with a short excerpt of the 20 minute vid. Also a clip of his appearance on Dragon's Den in 2021 where he talks about his electric "Hydroflyer".
McArthur was out on his electric hydrofoil — a propeller-driven ocean glider that he designs and sells — when he was suddenly surrounded by dolphins.
Fortunately, he was filming the experience using a 360-degree camera.
"This is insane," he yelled as dozens of the marine mammals started swimming alongside him, some jumping out of the water. "I don't want to hit one of them."
The dolphins matched speed, swooping underneath and surfacing alongside him for an encounter that he says lasted for nearly 20 minutes.
He said he and his friend spotted the animals in the distance at first and tried to avoid them, but the dolphins had other ideas.
..."All I could see were dolphins ... there were probably about 100."
