What?

In surfing news, actor Dick Van Dyke, star of classic films like "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" and "Mary Poppins," was once saved by dolphins while surfing.

He must have been charging all day, because he somehow fell asleep and drifted out to sea.

 "I woke up out of sight of land... and I started paddling with the swells and I started seeing fins swimming around me and I thought, 'I'm dead!'

Just as he was about to give up and succumb to a horrible death at sea, he noticed they weren't shark fins.

"They turned out to be porpoises (and) they pushed me all the way to shore. I'm not kidding."

This is crazy, I had no idea Dick Van Dyke could surf.
