Local hero, or total idiot? Foam man is here to entertain. 

After a massive storm bashed the east coast of Australia this weekend, parts of the coastline were overcome with a thick blanket of sea foam.

Normally people avoid the ocean when it turns to marshmallow fluff, due to an influx of sea snakes, according to the BBC. But this guy decided to take the plunge, and enjoy the cloud-like waters of Froggy's Beach in Coolangatta, Queensland.

Now, it appears as if Foam Man is actually holding a beverage during his time in the white ocean, which we can only assume is a beer based on how desperately he's protecting his drink.
