  • it looks like that hurts....or do ur feet not touch the ground

  • The surface is super smooth ... and and you slide with the water

  • which city is this, just amazing!

  • It's the city of Jibla

  • Aleikum Asalaam - oOProudYemeniaOo. Greetings from Korea ... No, I didn't try it as I have really terrible balance and didn't want to risk traveling / hobbling around Yemen and Oman, and later UAE, with the hassle of a broken ankle. :)

  • Salaam Aleikum - Peace be Upon You (everyone)

    Hi, greetings from Korea - where I am presently located ... to answer some questions: BazOoOka10: I was traveling solo in Yemen in 2005 and met these guys and got their permission to film them ... as they surfed !!! Palestine4ever20012: The location is in Jibla, central Yemen; jmeel77: yeah, ankle-breaking could be definitely happening if you slipped.

    Regards - MRP AKA thecandytrail
