Look for old blue moomba LSV, my dad lives in Walden so he’s out all the time. I’ll be out of town until July so my Mojo will be no where in sight.

Yeah it especially shitty right now due to covid-19. I normally do a 4 week rotation, 4 on and 4 off but since there is not commercial air travel to Guyana at the moment we are having to fly charters which apparently gets expensive. Combine that with what we have to do to get around the Guyanese government travel ban and we are doing 2 weeks of quarantine at a hotel in Houston, 6 weeks on the rig working, and 4 weeks off. Hopefully after one 12 week cycle we can get back to normal.

First....Hell NO LOL Low water drone shots are for the Pros, and the Rich. Its one of the scariest things to do (for me anyway). Even at 50 feet, you still have to turn the bottom sensors off, because theyll pick up reflections off the water. Then you add wind in the mix, ect ect. The closer you get, the less room for error. NOPE...not this guy LOL I do plan on using a selfie stick with the gopro soon, but I need to get some floats for it first.
Honestly, the best tell of an incredible wave, is a video of a min 170lb rider getting way back on the wave, and surfing back to the sweet spot. If there on a skim board, its even better. Anyone can get a great Pic with the right angle, videos with no surfer, or a kid surfing. My 10yr old can surf 30 feet back on stock ballast, and Ill get that perfect angle of him doing it
That being said, I really dont know. Id just be guessing. I run slower on Conroe, because the water is not as smooth, or consistent there, so I go for a taller wave with more push, to help with the bumps/bouncing. I feel like I have a nice 15-20' surfable pocket. Theres plenty of room. On the River, prob 25-50% more, because its so much smoother. but Ive recently started running slower all around. You realize nobody is utilizing the wave 30' back. except to occasionally recover. Everyone wants to be in the sweet spot, with the most push. You just need a big enough pocket to pump, and gain some speed for a trick. Or in our case....Attempt a trick LOL.
When you were running 10mph, did you actually surf the wave, or did you only look at it from the back of the boat? Back of the boat shots can be deceiving too. It can look like a really short wave, but when you surf it, its actually a surfable wave. A nice 10' wave is better than a 15' no push wave lol. I always start my session in the flats, with the rope, and just look at the wave. You can usually tell if it has a lot of power. If it looks weak to me, I always tell the driver to slow down. 99% of the time when I make changes, its slowing my speed. I shoot for Push first, then Length. Length is pointless if its not surfable. Sometimes you just have to take what the day offers you. I dont let it frustrate me anymore. Consistency is really tough.Last edited by DNIXD99; 05-19-2020 at 10:28 PM.
