I though some might be interested in seeing a Drakkar Big Boy in action.

The video is of my first session at hades Hole in a playboat and also the first time I've been able to stay on the wave. There are some neat video angles from directly above. This is the most fun I've had surfing.

I welcome any comments for technique improvement. I want to progress into doing some tricks (other than a superfast windowshade).

Looks like a ton of fun!
you look good,maybe a little tense,like you said it was the 1st time you could stay on the wave.
I usually shirt my weight around a little more to move the boat instead of relying on my paddle to spin me.
If you lean back and blast up the face a little more you can prolly get succesive spins without a pause.
Looks real good though, can't wait for the James' play hole is back in @ 15ft again...

Nice Matt the Big Boy is a lot of fun on a wave (and to just plan paddle)! :-)
