A BLIND man set a new world distance record for an hour’s blindfolded waterskiing at the weekend... but still stuck to the rules and covered his eyes.
Steve Thiele, 45, blinded in an accident at eight, smashed the old 20-mile record by 3.85 miles.
Mr Thiele, of Audley, Staffs, achieved the feat off Anglesey for Cancer Research UK and Ghana Outlook and said: “I used to waterski for Britain.”
