I got Ragboy's surfboard setup this week so it was off to the chilly water to try it out last night!! What a blast. It was surprisingly easy to get up and stay up. I was literally cutting around the wave in 30 seconds of starting. I still have a lot of work to do to get the wave "surfable" with out the rope. I could get some slack for a short while then I could not keep up with the boat. The sack would not stay on my seats so we had to leave it on the floor in the middle of the boat. I'm convinced though--ballast and a board are FOR SURE on my shopping list now. My otherwise "super athlete" buddy could not get up at all. That kinda made me feel like a rockstar, he's ussually the guy that jumps up right away and is awesome, but not THIS time
We had to go 13mph (who knows if speedo is correct???) to get a decent wave. I have to figure out how to slow that down a bit.
The battery died on the camera but here are some pics.

I'll go buy a "real" rope soon.
