Wakesurf board in the ocean

[Surfdad]

Wound a few wraps and then started dragging James in. In that second picture which just looks like a shot down the block, check the blue line on the left and follow it alllllll the waaaayyyyy dowwwwwnnnn that's James 1,200 feet away

Next stop is the water! The biggest challenge for me, I can tell, will be that initial BUMP, when it starts taking up the slack it's quite the hit.

What kind of line is it? I'm assuming its a wakeboard type rope? Not much give in that stuff. Maybe go with just two loops on your beach start. Might be less of a hit.

[Surfdad]

I think it's a wakeboard like rope. It's called Amsteel (I think) I'm not sure of it's material makeup, it's just what the winch guys use and it comes in these crazy long lengths.

I'm sure that I'm going to do a few face plants before I get that take off down. When the slack went out, it almost pulled me over standing on terra firma.

[Surfdad]

It works! AND I have pictures to prove it! One small issue, I swear I pulled a groin muscle, hurt like hell, but prior to that, it was a blast!

[NICKYPOO]

Awsome! How did the beach start go?

[Surfdad]

I didn't get the opportunity to try Nick. After my first pull up I asked James to pull me just a tad faster...which resulted in me being YANKED up and over the board about 5 feet in the air! I could barely stand up after that, I've got some sort of a strain...anyway, that was the end of my session for the day. Hopefully the next time out I'll be able to give that a try. Thanks for all your help with the instruction.

Surfdad thanking me for instruction? It must really be the end of the world.
