A record high-water mark yesterday in the lagoon city of Venice gave Dutch native Duncan Zuur the opportunity to fulfill a long-held dream by carving his way across a flooded Piazza San Marco on a wakeboard. 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 400 feet across the square and pressed one end firmly into the hand of 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.
