Very Cool - wakeboarding in Venice
record high-water mark in the lagoon city of Venice gave Dutchman Duncan Zuur the opportunity to fulfil a long-held dream by carving his way across a flooded St. Mark's square on a wakeboard, 02 December 2008. His team pulled a compact, 20 horsepower motor winch from its hiding place and placed it under the square's arches. One team member, clad in rubber boots, pulled the winch’s cable about 120 metres across the square and pressed one end firmly into the hand of Duncan Zuur, who had taken the opportunity to get into his wakeboarding gear. Four elegant turns later, the event was over prompting by a standing ovation from an astounding crowd of tourists
