The Flying Dutchman hit 70mph while Mr. Zuur being pulled along on Lake Techirghiol in Romania and claims to be the first person to achieve the feat.
Mr. Zuur, from Amsterdam, showed off jumps and tricks while being dragged along, saying afterwards: ‘I was full of adrenaline. If I have the opportunity, I would do it again.’
