LORNE, Australia — Chances are that at some point in your life you've taken a bubble bath. And chances are it was nothing like what a few surfers in Australia experienced.

They got a little extra dose of ocean foam and tried to figure out a way to take full advantage of what these multiplying bubbles have to offer: They body surfed them!

Apparently, the foam was created when rains sent organic matter flowing into the ocean and the waves whipped it into this puffy white froth. It was so thick at times that these guys formed tunnels in the stuff.

This was an event that occurs once every couple years.
