I shot this yesterday from my 2005 Supra Launch 21v. I have a GoPro mounted on the transom and it looks great! Hooray Summer.

Hey that was some great rippin!! My wave is about that size and my buddies over 220lb have a hard time linking a great run like that. What board are you riding? Also love the cross over move and your rhythm pump turns are great too.

That makes me want to SURF RIGHT NOW!! Super cool, never seen anyone go in front and around the wake to the other side like that. Very cool. Jet

Very nice! I'm still at the very beginner stages of surfing and not sure if I've got my wave good enough. Is the pumping then turning into the wave a way to get momentum to go up the wave without losing the push?

The board is a Roush Creations Mega Loaf 53". You can grab one at: http://www.roushcreations.com/products.php. I am about 210lbs and have no issues driving with the board. It is very floaty and even beginners can ride it.

To answer Okie's question- yes, you have to pump to gain enough momentum to get to the other side of the wave and still have enough to get back. Be super careful because you will hit the swim deck the first few times, also you may ride the spine and be over the swim deck. Just keep your cool and ride away... :)

I can't make the LKN surf bash because I am going to a fundraise for MS on the same day.... Kinda bummed- I would love to try a new boats since I don't get much time on other types of boats.

WOOOOHOOOO SUMMER!!

Nice! So Im guessing you had pretty clear skies. We were out on Lake Norman and kept getting caught in some storms. However, it was still a great time on the Lake!

Whats your ballast setup, and how where are you positioning all your spectators (how many up front/back).

For my 05 Launch 21v the base setup is a 750lbs in the back and the 1100lbs ski locker 3/4 full. I try to put 2 people behind the driver if possible. Sometimes this is overkill and I have to empty some weight out to get the right wave. Too much weight will make a killer wave but my boat struggles to keep speed.

The last video I posted was actually behind a Tige. I don't know the exact setup, but we had 4 people aboard and it was mega huge.
