A surfing duck has made a big splash on the beaches at the Gold Coast.
The duck has been spotted catching waves at Rainbow Bay.
Kate Miller and her son Tom have been taking their pet with them to surf since he was seven days old.
The bird, named Duck, has become a local celebrity with people flocking to watch him riding the waves.
Duck will swim out with his owners then catch a wave back to shore when he’s tired of having fun in the sea.
