Hooligans

[calab]

There were some in Venice Italy cruising the Grand Canal on e-surf-boards/foils, now authorities are cracking down on the hooligans, like other dipshits bathing in the famous fountains.

Tourists arrested for zipping down Venice’s Grand Canal on motorized surfboards

In another clip shared on social media, one of the surfers fell off his board under the Accademia Bridge, but made sure to keep his phone out of the water to film his cohort’s exploits.

Great examples of idiots wrecking it for everyone else. What happened to common sense?

I'm not sure I see the critical difference between these and other powered watercraft, in terms of the public interest? Seems a little like car drivers getting bent out of shape by e-scooters in the street, when it's really cars that are the main problem.

It’s more like adults doing cannonballs in the shallow end of the pool, where the kids are. The pool isn’t the problem.

Ok, an electric surfboard is meant for water. Not the water of a calm canal, but the water of a lake or ocean.

You reckon? What harm are those cats doing compared to a motorboat?

Being obnoxious and upsetting people.

the wake they cast looked smaller than or equal to the motor boat wake they passed
i would probably get the same reaction if i walked into a yacht club or a democrat convention

Karma will take care of them. Ever seen the canals? Very toxic. Venice doesn't have a sewer system. I guess they just drill holes to get rid of the shit.

Reminds me of what started the jetskis being banned on certain lakes and coast lines. Rich people not liking the noise around there million dollar lake homes..
