Jumping off Akko's walls
4 more images

Walking on the Akko City Wall promenade, I first saw a group of tourists standing speechless and motionless, like they were watching something thrilling and exciting. Then I saw what it was all about: local kids jumping off the walls, about 15 meters high, into the sea.
They performed back-flips and sommersaults and it was a really stunning show!

Warning: Don't try to do this if you are not a local Akko boy aged 12-18!

Equipment: None (just lots of guts!)
