Wakeboarding through Paris

Paris isn't known for its wakeboarding scene, it's a buzzing capital city. However, this summer it got hit by some of the worst flooding that it's ever experienced, and travel came to a halt for a considerable period of time.

This provoked most people to hunker down, batten down the hatches and enjoy the comfort of their own homes. However, Ben Leclair saw it differently. He decided to make the most of this rare opportunity and explore the underwater Parisian suburbs, on a wakeboard.

Jumping over tennis nets on flooded courts, and grinding along football goals on flooded pitches, this slightly surreal video is filmed in a very laid-back, chirpy manner, and will make you smile. It's a fun watch, have a look here.
