| Description: | ROUND THE CLOCK Man breaks record for time spent riding an Aquaplane (which is a board pulled behind a speedboat - like water skiing but easier). Aquaplanist spends 24 hours being pulled through water sitting on a piece of board! View from above dock looking down; guys on dock are leaning over watching the man get himself settled on the aquaplane. Then boat starts off, pulls him behind; pan up as they head away, the man waves goodbye. Pan w/ "aquaplanist" who is now riding it sitting on a folding chair. MS boat to boat (well, really boat to aquaplane shot!) beside man on aquaplane, sitting on the chair which is secured to the board; he sits there laughing, lets go of rope to stretch his arms out. This part is pretty fun. MLS boat to aquaplane: another motorboat advances alongside the aquaplane; a man has crawled out onto the bow and is holding out a tray to the stuntsman who takes it, sets it on his knees. Next, the "waiter" reaches for a coffeepot or pitcher and leans across from the boat pouring out a drink into cup held by aquaplanist. Now that's what I call service! Tr. shot MCU aquaplanist having lunch; he drinks from the cup, takes a bite of bread from plate.
