It has definitely been weather for ducks in Ireland recently as Storm Desmond wreaked havoc all over the country but certain areas were hit worse than others.

Galway and Cork bore the brunt of the adverse conditions, but there’s always a silver lining to most scenarios as seen by this footage of Cork wakeboarder David O’Caoimh.

It seems that the Lee Fields were more like a swimming pool after the heavy rain but David used this to his advantage to turn the venue into an urban course. Take a look at his very impressive highlights.

When Cork floods, I Wakeboard Thank you #StormDesmond
