Looking for tips: My 17 yr old son been boarding for last 3 summers. This year we upgraded from an old IO with Monster Tower to a Tige 24ve. He also changed his board to a (136-137?) LF Shane (i think). He is coordinated/comfortable on board. He's 5'11", about 150#. He took one clinic this year and knows about keeping rope at hip and gradually then fast cutting into wake to jump. For a while he was getting close to going W2W, but lately his jumps seems to have lost all height, like he almost skips across wake, fast, but not high. We run @ 19.5mph, Taps 5-6 with 1,000# ballast. Rope 2 off. We were both thinking going faster creates a narrower wake, but I'm wondering if going slower would create a bigger wake, and he would control his speed to pop. Any suggestions on speed, rope length would be appreciated.
