Bez - dancer from top Manchester band Happy Mondays - took to the waters at Blenheim Palace today to try his hand at wakeboarding.
The original freaky dancer, whose band will headline the Wakestock Festival taking place at the palace in Woodstock from June 27 to 29, was confident his 15 years of snowboarding and 'give-it-a-go' attitude would see him through.
He said: "Yeah man, I'll give anything a go once and it looks similar to snowboarding so I reckon I'll be alright."
The festival combines wakeboarding, which is similar to waterskiing, with top bands such as Groove Armada, Supergrass and Pendulum.
