"Aqua Alta Surfing": St. Mark's Square on a Wakeboard

Everything happened at the speed of light on Tuesday: just a few minutes after 11 a.m., the high-water mark had reached 1.35 metres, equivalent to a good half metre of water covering St. Mark's Square. Duncan Zuur's 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 winchs 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. And luckily for Duncan, the police didn't even notice. http://redbull.com _ Experience the world of Red Bull like you have never seen it before.

@abclukeabc Hey relax cabrón, the guy didn't any harm to your beloved city! wishing someone to die of a cancer because he did 20 sec of wakeboard at st-marks square during Acqua Alta is more then crazy. You are the most selfish person I ever seen! You don't even deserve to live in Venice! find something else to do then bug people that enjoy life

This gentleman seems harmless, but he'd find his life immeasurably enriched by spending some quiet hours exploring the art of the Accademia or by wandering through Venetian churches. I recommend the Frari, where he can see Titian's "Assumption of the Virgin."

x i danni è una cazzata: fanno molti più danni le navi da crociera che girano davanti alla piazza.. poi, a Porto ci son gare organizzate di mountain bike giù x le scalinate del centro storico (patrimonio mondiale Unesco) bisogna viverli i posti, senza sfasciarli ma senza farne un museo

Sure, they're figuring out out to stop those processes but the main problem is that the phenomena are stronger than the previous expectations they made.Some experts agree with you and claim for more out lets (see mose in wiki).Not to mention other troubles like Porto Marghera facility or the near airport enlargenent).If you have some real good ideas, please show it to the competent authorities: Venezia needs urgent effective solutions.
