The men were tagged in Folly Beach, South Carolina in the post that appeared to be a framegrab from another user’s social media story that read “that hurricane swell.”

“’I ain't afraid of dying. I got no need to explain. I feel like going surfing in a hurricane’ #follybeachsurfing,” Buffett captioned the post. “On a serious note - respect mother nature, please be safe and listen to your local authorities.”
