We don’t mean to make light of a serious situation, but this is incredible.

The Saudi city of Jeddah has been hit with heavy rains this week, closing schools and universities, cancelling flights, and bringing traffic to a standstill. It’s meant a lot of disruption and stress, and we’re thinking of everyone effected. It can’t be fun.

However, at least a couple of people in the coastal city are making the best of a bad job. Footage has emerged of a Saudi woman wakeboarding on a flooded Jeddah street.

Clad in a niqab and towed by an SUV, she looks to be having a truly excellent time. We’ll let you have a look:

Please note the AC/DC soundtrack. So good.

Journalist Joyce Karam shared the clip, though she didn’t film it herself or know exactly where it came from. That’s often the way with these sorts of videos, and while we’d love to know more, at least we get to see it at all. We’re clearly not the only ones enjoying it. Karam’s post has been liked over 15,000 times.

Karam said in a subsequent tweet that the video was sent to her.

“I don’t know. Was sent to me on WhatsApp and circulating on many Arabic accounts under hashtag #امطار_جدة,” she explained.

Whoever this anonymous extreme sports enthusiast is, she’s got our full respect. Love to see an adventurous spirit.

This clip comes almost bang on a year after we saw a Saudi man skiing (without skis) on a mountain road in the kingdom.

You’ve got to make your own fun. That guy made international headlines and we’re thinking there’ll be a similar level of interest in this clip.
