that's quite ok, can't say though i didn't see something simular before.
consider returning not $result->result(); but $result.
then with method chaining you can do something like this:

$this->UserModel->find(array('username' => 'blymoth'), true)->result();

not a big addition but brings you access to additional methods like num_rows() and others.

and the other thing i woudn't use array in save method consider changing it to object
and if you are creating new entry you can use stdClass to instaniate empty object
