A man surfed to work After heavy rain flooded a city in eastern China.

Video filmed in the city of Wuxi in Jiangsu Province on July 20 shows a man named Ding making quite the spectacle as he rode a powered surfboard to work.

The streets submerged under about 1.2 metres of water after a torrential downpour. Ding decided to surf his way through the flooded streets to his office.

Not content with merely getting to his destination, he even indulged in a few show-off moves amidst the deep water, demonstrating his professional surfing skills.

Though he encountered minor missteps along his route, he was always in control, assuring the crowd that there was no danger due to his proficiency in the sport.

7月20日，江苏无锡。因暴雨后道路积水严重，丁先生直接用动力冲浪板冲浪去上班，引来众人围观拍照。当事人丁先生称，水深大概1.2m，轿车根本过不去，导航绕行太远，后备箱刚好有冲浪板，所以就直接冲浪去上班了。中间一时起兴，在积水中特意耍了几圈，虽然小有失误，但因为自己是专业人士，也不存在危险。
