Chris Christie as seen in his now-infamous beach photos. TheBikiniBoys -- described in their Instagram bio as "Just a couple of guys who wear bikini t-shirts and build sand sculptures together in Seaside Heights, N.J." -- posted photos and a video to the social networking site showing their latest sculpture: Gov. Chris Christie lounging on the beach next to a shark.

"Overweight and over budget," the sand artists wrote on Instagram.
