I finally got my first free ride yesterday. Worked on it a little last year but just couldnt get it. I surfed for about 2 min with the rope and finally decided to toss it back in the boat. I stayed up for about 2 min after that till I finally just drifted back over the wave. It was a great feeling. Pics will be posted soon. Water temp - 60 degrees, Air temp - 75 degrees. Gotta love the TX weather.
