get at least a 750 and raise the wake plate to 3/4 to all the way up.

I'm looking at getting bigger bags for the rear. When I put the wake plate up the pocket gets way small. Am I going too fast?

I find speeds between 9.5 & 10.5 work best, for my boat the slower speeds shorten the pocket and the faster speeds lengthen it.

I think your going to slow, have you checked your spedo against a gps unit?

I haven't checked this year but I did last year. I'll take my wife's TomTom out on the next trip.

Holy crap - looks like she's waaaaaaaaay off in the distance! Talk about a long pocket - cool angle for sure.

I was just about to say the same thing!!! she looks like she's 20 feet back of the boat!! I can't wait to get my go pro running... i just bought the roll bar mount for it yesterday i think i'm gonna mount it on the tower. This looks like it's mounted on the bar on the back of the boat????

she might not be that far back, but she has an ability to catch up from further back than most. She pulls off some recoveries that we all shake our heads at!

The go pro was mounted on the transom with the suction cup mount, just above the rear tiedown eye. Just in case, we also had a lanyard from the camera case tied off to the rear grab handle. Camera was set to snap a pic every 2 secs. Really want to get some video from this angle next weekend.

The roll bar mount is just big enough to fit on the rear ski pylon... its got a wkde angle screen so if u put it on the tower the rider looks really far back in the film
