looks good, you definitely need to upgrade your potato camera though

i over rotate and fall out of the pocket everytime... it's definitely my wake setup... always different people in the boat.. no time due to kids to play around and mess with it this summer.. i just fill up some bags and hope it works out.
Fail on Sat. At least I got to surf. Was a cool day as it was the first time all 6 kids surfed. They had a blast. Anyway, I'm trying to spin too fast too. Need to work on it, but when?
Is it too late to the party? I met all the qualifications; albeit on the younger side (36)... however I have had 3 knee surgeries and just blew out my 4th ACL 2 weeks before this 360 attempt (I guess my wakeboarding days are over) Given my knees are equivalent to a 65yr old, I think my average age more than clears me for this competition :). Nonetheless, after trying surfing for the first time this year, I was successful in doing the 360 after many failed attempts. Anyone that wants advice behind a Mondo '14 I'm here to help, I'd be happy to trade you for some wake advice (still working on my configuration).
the secret was
a. the board (I used my friends Ronix 4"8' with a 2 inch fin)
b. getting REALLY Close to the platform so I had time to stay in the wake
c. spinning with my hips and having fresh legs

-2014 Mondo
750 starboard stern ballast / 1/2 full port stern ballast / full bow ballast / 3/4 up surf plate / wake plate fully deployed
i'm 32.. hurt my knee a few times wakeboarding.. never tore anything official according to docs... but I can't stand up after sitting without limping it off for a few minutes.. definitely too old to attempt wakeboading anymore..
100% surfer now.. need to figure out this 360 thing so i have some more fun behind the boat... can get the 360, but never stay with the wake... i hope next year I can get some more time behind the boat...
Having twins last November has made getting to the lake not happen as often as i'd like this summer.
I'm thinking that success was mostly due to the cheering section! Cute.
Well played sir - well played. Repeatable now?
What's with all these young whippersnappers trying to get in on our game?
I'm 51, no surgery but knee hurts getting off chairs.... I was icing it down all day when trying to pull this off. I guess that puts me in the "masters class". Still haven't done it though. This coming weekend will be the last chance this year...
