It’s not every day you can wakeboard in the street … so when the weather from Hurricane Ian caused a huge flood, a Florida man was there with his board!
A bystander in Marathon, Florida caught the performance on video … where a pickup truck, submerged in water, pulled the wakeboarder through the flooded streets.

There were even spectators there … cheering on the wakeboarder.
Even though it looks fun (heck, is fun), Hurricane Ian is no joke. The storm could bring 155 MPH winds when it slams into Florida on Wednesday, according to Weather.com.
Last week, Hurricane Ian struck the Cayman Islands and Cuba, leaving at least 2 people dead in Cuba and millions without power.
This is the second major hurricane of the 2022 season.
Several sporting events in Florida, and even South Carolina, have been postponed due to the severe weather, including UFC’s game, originally scheduled for Saturday game, that’s been moved to Sunday.
As of now, the Buccaneers-Chiefs game is still on for Sunday night at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, but an NFL spokesman said the league is “monitoring the storm and continuing to talk to both teams”.
Stay safe, everyone!
