Foam's up: Surfers take rare opportunity to ride fluffy waves after flooding covers coast in 330ft of yellow froth

Three surfers braved these ferocious foam covered waves, dodging debris and litter, in their hunt for the perfect ride.

The waves were a result of overflowing flood-waters which whipped the murky-coloured waves into a frenzy, kicking up some eye-catching spray when they broke.

Photographer Chris Garden, 30, spotted the unusual sight as he drove along the coast, in Karitane, New Zealand.

Sea power: It looks like the surfer is about to be swallowed by the thick brown foam as the wave is coming down behind him

The foam stretched 330ft along the shore and was nearly 100ft deep in places.

Mr Garden, who was watching the action from a cliff, said: ‘There was a big swell churning up the foam.

‘We had had a lot of flooding and so flood water had been coming out into the sea. It was all getting mixed up with the sea water and there were also logs floating out through the waves.'

‘The water is really cold at this time of year too, which doesn't make for very enjoyable surfing conditions. I think the surfers had fun but you wouldn't catch me out in it.’
