Schweeeeeeet. Setup?

I'm having a little trouble with mine. It washes out towards the back.

just so everyone knows, Berg is actually only 3'4" tall.

PWI in the PNW. I hear it's going around.

I'll pray hard, but I doubt my surf angel will show up this weekend.

Yes, I've been holding out on you guys. Was hoping to repeat this event but doesn't look like it will pan out.

-Lotsa ballast bags
-Fair amount of beer
-And a good buddy who showed up on my doorstep out of the blue with even more ballast and several hundred lbs of lead

We had to wait til the river was empty and flat so the sun was already starting to go down.

Couldn't mount the GoPro on the gunwale because it would get washed off too easily and we didn't want to stop for that so just a crappy cell pic from the driver. Even that was tough to get.

All in I think we had roughly 5700lbs. Could barely drive though and we weren't about to stop and take a wave over the stern so we had to do 'hot' rider pickups - grabbing the rope at about 4-5mph as the boat passed by. Then punch it up to about 12mph and try to tune the shape from there. PP couldn't keep up with all this so it was completely manual on the throttle and a lot of it.
