What boat are you riding behind? What speed/length are you at now?

I'd move out to 70-75' as long as the wake is still clean, but if you're comfortable with the speed thats all that matters.

Maybe I'll see you around, I'm out on MIL a couple times/week.

hey when the rope says 65' is that including the length of the handle?

Most ropes will say if it includes the handle.

What line is it?

If you are landing in the flats consistently with HS and TS jumps, you could add another 5 or 10ft. You will be selling yourself short if you lengthen the line and are not easily going w2w on your TS though.

I am using straight line fire line. The rope length shown on the rope doesnt include the handle.
