Wasserreiter mit Magnesiumfackeln
Wasserreiten hinter dem Motorboot mit Magnesium-Beleuchtung bei Nacht!
Der Wasserreiter wird, auf einem Brett stehend, mittels einer Leine, welche er mit den Zähnen festhält, im schnellsten Tempo von dem Motorboot durch das Wasser gezogen. In den Händen hält er Magnesiumfackeln, welche das Ganze gespenstig beleuchten.

English: Translation of the original caption from the German Federal Archive:
Water rider with magnesium flares
Water riding behind a motorboat with magnesium flares at night!
The water rider stands on a board and is pulled through the water at a fast pace by a motorboat by means of a rope, which he holds with his teeth. In his hands he holds magnesium flares, which give a ghostly illumination all around.
