Surf Video (first time ever)

A better surf rope with T or bar handle will make your life easier than trying to hold onto a knot or the end of the rope when getting up. Conditions looked pretty rough for surfing there so maybe try and find a finger off the open water to find calmer conditions.

Loved the "smile you SOB" comment from your buddy :D
 
Holy crap! How fast were you getting pulled??? It looks like they were going wakeboard speed instead of wakesurf!n:eek:

What was your ballast setup? I have a 242 SE and would love to wakesurf.
 
Agree....looked a little rough there....and a little fast....we go 10.5-11.5mph. Also, you want to square your shoulders towards the wake and not be leaning back (as you to wakeboarding).....but you'll figure all that out with time!!!

Lots of fun!!!!!!!!!
