Like other have said, throwing a jig with a GoPro? Brave!

Also, pretty brave yanking the mirage drive. You flip and she GONE!

Awesome Video!

Thanks for all the positive feedback! So for the iron shot I tied it on with an excessive amount of braid. I was more worried about my mono to jig connection than anything else. Tadylures on Instagram seemed to like it as well. As far as pulling my mirage drive out at the end, how do you do it? I've bent 3 masts now and don't want to replace another. All three times were in the surf with one peddal all the way forward.

What I do now is that I time the wave in, peddling like crazy (no paddle out at all) trying to follow the back of a wave. Usually, I can keep my speeds high enough to get through before the next one. When I get to waist high water, I jump out. As I get to thigh high water, I'll disengage the drive, pull it out and then pull up the rudder.

In your video, you pulled out the drive and rode the wave sideways for a while. That's what scared me because I'd probably flip over. You seem more experienced.

You should have your mirage drive on a good leash. Always.

You're right, but leashes are like condoms, they get in the way and I hate to use them.
