Nick Cummins thought he could do it all.

But the former Wallaby, who's gone global with a viral advertising campaign filled with his glorious jargon, won't be becoming a lifesaver anytime soon if this attempt is anything to go by.

The man affectionately known as Honey Badger took to the Bondi water to see if his surf skills were as smooth as his one-liners and on this evidence, he's got some work to do.

Perhaps it was his 'dollar two' frame that saw him sink or a lack of comfortable undies, but either way Cummins has proven the Honey Badger really is more of a land animal.

Cummins' much more succesful rugby career saw him spend several years with the now defunct Western Force and make 15 appearances for the Wallabies.

Check out the Honey Badger's attempt at lifesaving in the video above.
