One of the more interesting World Records I've come across recently. See the video here. For the record, my top was 11 or 13 bounces, but I never had such a large lake to use - we did ours on rivers and with flowing water everywhere.
The one time we could have actually pushed the limit was at Dodital - where, unfortunately, one is not allowed to disturb the water as per local tradition.
Speaking of world records, the men's marathon time has been smashed by Haile Gebreselassie, which is just an incredible feat, especially at his age. There's a real runner for you. As a way to judge how quick he is - I did the half in 2:11 or so. He did the full in 2:04:55 - thats the same as doing 336 metres every minute for 2 hours. Or put differently - thats doing every 100 metres of the 42 kilometres in 17.8 seconds on average. Ridiculous.
