July pic and video thread 2016

There should be lots of pics and vids ready to be shared seeing as how both Canada and the US of A just had a holiday weekend. Unfortunately the weather has been off and on here for a while and we only got out for one day. Of coarse the weather is crap... I've got three weeks off! Anyway, here's a couple pics.

 

 

This one ain't boating, but thought it was a cool pic from our walk in between rain storms.

Doing Ollie oops and 360's while holding a camera up behind you adds a bit to the difficulty meter. But made for some pretty cool screen grabs I think.

Couple screen grabs from the ghetto GoPro camera boom I made the other day.

Surf sesh was today. Only day without rain for the next weeks forecast BTW. Super happy I got out with the family.

Great pics and great looking wave, are you able to replicate that on the regular side? If so please share your surf settings. Cheers

Thanks! Yes, very easy to replicate on the regular side. I'll have to wait till next time I go out to give you my settings though, sorry.

Here's a pic of the wife loving the new wave.

After reading about people getting frustrated with how many tries they've done to learn 360's, it made me consider actually counting how many tries I've made to learn air reverses... Too many to count already! But I feel I'm getting close and thought I'd make a quick little video of yesterdays attempts and some other surfing by my son and I.

How did you make the ghetto boom?

[Nick213 583]

Dark your boy is ripping it now!!! Seams like just yesterday he had no interest in surfing.

Man your so close you'll have that down in the next session or two!

[Cdifranco 463]

Dark that wave is sick!!!!!!

[DarksideR 1,679]

How did you make the ghetto boom?

 

It's a secret.

No, it's just 3/4"PVC pipe and some fittings. Fits right in the surf side board rack.

Yeah man, super pumped that he is into it. Loaded up the ballast and asked him if he waged to go first. "YEAH!" was his instant response. LOL. Couldn't be happier with his excitement for it.

 

I honestly thought I was gonna ride out a couple of them yesterday! Gonna have them figured out soon!

??Thanks, very interested to hear what you're running, my port side wave is huge but I can't get it nearly as long or clean as the goofy side! ?

What are your settings?

[lovetosurf 48]

Pnp's 100%

Bow 70%

P Ram 100%

S Ram 40%

Tab 20

Cats 10

Speed 11mph - 11.2mph

[DarksideR 1,679]

I always run with the bow 100%. That'll lengthen your wave. Tab set point varries with people weight. But I tend to leave mine pretty close to level, or 50.
