yo i just got out from riding and i measured the rope i was using and it was 80ft but i was only going 19 and i could jump the wake healside and switch just not toeside i was just experimenting i think im guna go back to 70 ft at 19

that's probably a little too much rope for that speed. Most that ride 80+ are also riding 23 mph +

speed up. <BR>you should be going atleast 20 or 21 minimum.

Are you sure you are going 19mph? I dont see how you could ride out at 80 going 19, probably going faster then 19 and your speedo is off a couple mph..

Too much rope for that speed. Either speed up or take in some line.

Is the speedo calibrated with GPS? If not find the speed that "feels" the best then set the rope length. There should be a point at which you can feel the board come alive.
