Wow, great water and really cool vantage point on the video.
On a side note, according to the "Pros", you should try flipping your hands over, LFF should be left knuckle up. As a RFF my grip is opposite of yours, so I am doing it "wrong" also, lol, been trying to make the change but it just does not feel right. |

FYI human hands have 3 knuckles on each finger. When I hold a ski handle one set is up, one forward, and one down. RFF should be left palm up.

Haha, how many knuckles do cartoons have?
I hold my rope RFF Right palm up because I do it wrong. Now that I have been footing all summer instead of slaloming I don't feel as awkward switching my grip up so I may make the switch next year if I get more slalom time. |

OK there Hardlywood, apparently you have quite the head for knuckles, perhaps we should start calling you knucklehead. Let's meet for lunch today, Ill buy you a knuckle sandwich.

It is basically a homemade version of this:
http://www.highballblog.com/2012/03/gopro-rotor-mount.html I have tried flipping my hands, but it feels so strange...still need to do it at some point, but so used the my current grip. |

I corrected mine cold turkey in the spring of a new season. Been fine since, now the wrong way feels wrong!

How long did it take to get comfortable with the correct grip? days? weeks? |
