During a demonstration of his surfing skills, the Polish leader failed to stay on his board. The incident happened in front of media representatives during a vacation on the Baltic coast.
While vacationing at the popular Jurata beach in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, Andrzej Duda decided to demonstrate his surfing skills to journalists. However, the attempt to impress turned into an unfortunate embarrassment - the Polish leader lost his balance and ended up in the waters of the Baltic Sea. The incident required the prompt intervention of rescuers.
The President, who positions himself as an experienced surfer, chose a calm stretch of sea off the coast of Jastarni to demonstrate his skills. Duda confidently entered the water with a surfboard, but was unable to hold on to the waves. Already a few minutes after the start, the attempt to shine sports form ended with a fall, writes ria.ru.
“Emergency services reacted instantly,” - noted journalists who observed the incident.
The incident itself did not cause serious consequences - the President got off only a slight fright and wet clothes
A series of curiosities literally haunts the Polish leader. Just a few days before the incident, a scandal erupted in the country around the withdrawal from sale of the book “Moron”, dedicated to the president. According to political analysts, such incidents can affect the voter's perception of the politician's image.
