speeds?

I know that it all depends on weight, wake size, and length of rope... but what speeds do you guys feel comfortable wakeboarding at? and what rope lengths?

I'm riding at about 22-24 mph and 75-80 ft depending on the boat & weighting.

I like 20.5 mph and 60' myself, my 14 yr. old likes 21 mph and 70'. At the sports ltd. tounament a few weeks back they were towing the top riders at 26 mph and about 80'.

24 mph at 84 ft, behind a nicely loaded SANTE. Plenty O hang time. Pic is me spinning a slob 360. I can keep everything pretty close to being wake to wake in order to save my back and knees. Just look how far apart the wakes are at that distance :-)
