Two surfers in Australia set out to document a bizarre wave break off the coast of Western Australia, and they got it. According to ABC Perth, this is the first video of the natural phenomenon. In the video, the two men, Ben Allen and Chris White, yell with delight after the wave breaks in a circular motion, apparently making a crashing sound that rumbled like an earthquake.
