    Reverse image search puts this in Yemen, Shabwah District, 2002. Source is @surfjournalist. Seems like dude just really wanted to surf the Yemeni coast post-9/11.

    The surfer is Chas Smith. A surfer / journalist who decided to surf across Yemen during the Chad war to document both sides in search of the origins of Al Quaeda with some other surfer friends.

      You could recreate this sort of shot today in all sorts of countries. If its an internal conflict in a mainly brown skin country, then nobody sees some white tourist as a threat.
