Just a quick point! A prop catching air because it’s close to the surface is ventilation, not cavitation. I do enjoy watching AND listening to the two of you having a blast on the flats! Thanks!
Luke what brand is the Saltstrong proto reel?
Is this for sale on the site?
Great tips and video
Great video! Love using the bomber in the flats. Heading out tomorrow in the flats again to work on the SLAM so I can wear the Slam Shirt I ordered. Got to earn it first, before wearing.
As always great video
I agree on the timelines there great to consult
Can you bring back the timeline comments. I enjoy your videos but don’t have time to watch them all in their entirety. It is helpful to be able to go directly to the portions that interest me the most.
