Hurricane Irene surf

A series of videos have appeared on YouTube of some surfers poaching some epic waves caused by Hurricane Irene off Belmar Beach, New Jersey.

It sees the surfers break a curfew that banned the public from entering the beach in the wake of the hurricane in order to go surfing in some serious swell.

After making a break for it across the seafront, their civil disobedience is rewarded by some once-in-a-lifetime rides.

But, of course, the police catch up with the triumphant surfers in the end.

It's what the internet is made for!
