What rope length does everyone ride on? <BR>And Speed?

I ride at 70' at 24.

extend the rope/handle until the board rides up the wake right before the wake starts to crumble. Different lengths at different weights/conditions/speed. There isnt 1 set setting regardless if its the same boat and weight on it.

26.5mph 85 feet.

26mph @ 70 feet

75 feet at 22.5

80 ft @ 22-25 mph(depends on the boat)

Wakesetter, your 13 and 100 lbs, if your PP is right your riding to fast.

Ya When the boats loaded up i ride at 26 to clean up the wake which it usually is, but if there's only the driver and a spotter in the boat i go 24.

Wakesetter i think that your PP is off a little bit. At 70 feet your wake should be clean at 19-21 mph.

75ft 25-26

I think it's pretty funny that you people are telling a dude that he's riding too fast. It's very possible that he just wants to ride that way. <BR> <BR>I've been riding 85 feet at 25-26 mph.

I agree Thane. I also think its funny how this thread is pretty much useless without boat information, weight etc. <BR> <BR>00 vlx 75-80 ft at 26ish with 2200-2800lbs <BR> <BR>00 SAN 80-85 ft at 26ish with stock weight + a sac or two.

Thane, the kid is 13 with basic wake tricks, unless his name is Jacob Valdez he is riding to fast. If he were riding at our wakeboard camp we would slow him down and am pretty confindent he would have better progression/results.

21-23 mph, and rope depends on the boat, usually between 65-75 and the odd time as short as 60.

22.5mph - 65ft line

Where does it say all he has is basic wake tricks? If speeding up to clean up the wake is all he can do, then it's the right thing to do. <BR>Oh, me, 75 @ 23.5 behind my boat. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by wake upppp on April 22, 2007)

19-20mph at 75ft, I don't know how yous can ride so fast, I just hate the feeling, faceplants at 20mph hurt enough lol

22 mph <BR>70 feet <BR>X1 with a couple hundred over stock

Sparky, to answer your question, "where does it say all he has was basic wake tricks" on another thread he asked the question what is the deference between a Backroll &amp; a Tantrum. Not disrespecting the kid, just trying to help him out. I still maintain 26 MPH is to fast for him. He is a Oregon rider &amp; if he wants to roll over to Bend we will hook him up with some free lessons. Wakesetter PM me if your intrusted.

It's all good. I thought maybe I missed what his skill level was. Speeding up to clear up the wake is better than hitting a crumbling wake though...

85 incl Handle. 23mph. 03 V210 @ 2000 pounds.

65-70ft @ 21-22mph

malibu - 75 @ 22.4 <BR>nautique - 80 or 85 at 22 or 23

I go 21.5, and a rope length of about 60, only because i love the flatts!!!

2000 xstar - 2100 lbs: 75' @ 25-26

For me 04 Wakesetter LSV(the 23 footer) <BR> <BR>Randy, thanks I'll ask my dad about the lessons. I'll PM you if he says yes.

Just start with the shortest rope length. When you jump constant over the second wake, you can make the line longer. That is how we work, until we found the right length.

Wakesetter, no problem, Alex will also be at the AWS demo days for HL on May 19th or 20th in Oregon City you can hook up for some instruction there also.

Randy, when do you leave for wakegames? sorry for the HIJACK...

Hey Gordie, leaving tomorrow morning, going out early so Alex can get a little water time before Friday, it's been raining here the last 2 weekends<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/angry.gif" border=0> When are you getting there?

Tomorrow, morning also, don't get there til 7pm. <BR>See you wed or so..

depending on the boat 80 ft at 23.5- 24 mph,who knows though sometimes the boat will say your going 26 mph but with all the weight you are only going 23-24mph

here's mine. 70' at 17-20mph. 90 malibu skier with 850-900lbs ballast plus 700lbs of people. still learning, plus skill recoverying from knee surgery. but my buddie get 4-5ft air wake to wake.

82' at 3100ish rpms Bu LSV 8.1 ltr

I judged mini outlaw at INT nationals this year and they had a kid go 25 at 55 or 60ft behind a brand new x-star. he looked so scared dude, me and the other dude that was with me did a double take when his dad said that

75' to 85' and anywhere from 23-26 <BR> depends on boat and rope length of the day
