Nice save

[parrothd]

I haven't been surfing much this year, but can't believe I was able to save it, I'm really far back there!

Skip ahead to 4:38....

How do you have your boat weighted in that video? Is that your 2006 Mobius LSV?

[parrothd]

Yep, 06..

1100 rear, 400 under seat, 400 center, 650 IBS and a spare 750 in the front Surf side. Helps to have the boat leaning more, sometimes a add a little to the opposite side.. Maybe 100 or so..

That is a pretty epic save. I'm sure your wave has a ton of push though with 3300 pounds of ballast!

Nice pumping though!

Awesome! Learned to surf this year behind my '06 and it is the best thing ever. Man, you're hauling a lot of weight!

Gotta go big!

I was pretty gased after that, we wake boarded before so my legs were shot..

May have to get me one of those knee braces...

[parrothd]

Easy, just tear your ACL and your insurance will pay for it..

Hey, my wife had a full ACL reconstruction (filleting her hamstring to make a new ACL that they molly screw into place while trimming off the parts of the meniscus that she destroyed) and she didn't get the cool knee brace!!! (her surgeon actually isn't a fan of the braces as he says they really can't conclusively say if they really help or not).

BUT, she did get the parking pass that gets us the prime parking at a crowded boat launch when she parks the truck!

That was truly awesome. I've only seen kids make saves from that far back, then they give you the "Huh, WHAT?" look when everyone is cheering for them.

I'm thinking start the knee brace now before I blow/tear something. Try to prolong what I've got. Surfed goofy just a little yesterday and the bad knee was really not happy with me changing sides like that.
