“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.

What is the smallest amount of boat horsepower I need to wakeboard effectively?

It all depends on the size of the boat. Power to weight ratio is the problem. You can have a small horsepowered boat pull you but it cannot weight so much that it unable to get your mass out of the water. ( Your body mass is a factor also) There are jetskis that can pull a wakeboarder so the HP needed can’t be that great. I have a 14 ft Aluminum boat with a 25 HP johnson engine that can pull a knee boarder no problem.
