That is a dolphin, but no matter how many times you see a fin in the water, it is scary to say the least. WHen I was living in Florida in teh early 90's I was "bumped" by a shark while surfing off the Officers Club right off the approach end of Patrick Air Force Base. That was the scariest thing I ever had happen to me, imaging while I was paddling to catch a wave in that I was going to be eaten alive by a carnivore... the whole time I was bleeding profusely from my LH knee where the shark had scraped off my skin. Saw it once more, then caught a wave and rode it till my scags hit the sand... scared me enough that I did not surf again until the swell from the next hurricane!
