Their skin is more like sand paper than leather and will scratch your kayak. When the Squid are around you will typically see lots more of them. They breach a lot during the spawn, and seem to be able to do so over and over again. They also do some finning as a part of their mating or courting ritual. I have seen them in multiple groups of 10 or 12 at the surface doing it.
